Abstract Background The genus Burkholderia consists of species that occupy remarkably
diverse ecological niches. Its best known members are important pathogens, B. mallei and …

An increase in the number of reported melioidosis cases was observed in the first 4 months
of 2004. These cases were associated with a significant increase in case-fatality rate …

Burkholderia mallei is the etiological agent of glanders, a highly contagious and often fatal
disease in equids. Due to the high genetic clonality of B. mallei, high-resolution typing …

Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates with shared multilocus sequence types (STs) have not
been isolated from different continents. We identified two STs shared between Australia and …

Ribotyping has previously been used for epidemiological studies of Burkholderia
pseudomallei (previously Pseudomonas pseudomallei). We show here that random …

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a bacterial pathogen causing the melioidosis disease, which
is predominantly found in tropical areas of Southeast Asia and Northern Australia …

The environmental bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei causes an estimated 165,000
cases of human melioidosis per year worldwide and is also classified as a biothreat agent …

The melioidosis bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, is increasingly being recognised as
a pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). We have recently catalogued genome-wide …

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis and a potential bioterrorism
agent. In the development of medical countermeasures against B. pseudomallei infection …

Colony morphology variation of Burkholderia pseudomallei is a notable feature of a
proportion of primary clinical cultures from patients with melioidosis. Here, we examined the …
