Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei are two highly pathogenic bacteria, responsible for
melioidosis and glanders, respectively. The two are closely related and can also be …

Here we report on the development of a discriminatory real-time assay for the rapid
identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates and the evaluation of this assay for …

Proper identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia thailandensis is crucial
in guiding clinical management of patients with suspected melioidosis, as more than 99% of …

Melioidosis is an emerging, potentially fatal disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei,
which requires prolonged antibiotic treatment to prevent disease relapse. However …

Burkholderia pseudomallei, a Gram-negative bacterium that causes melioidosis may be
differentiated from closely related species of Burkholderia mallei that causes glanders and …

Burkholderia pseudomallei (the etiologic agent of melioidosis) can cause pyogenic or
granulomatous lesions in almost any organ. Septicemia has a case fatality rate of> 40 …

subtractive hybridisation was performed with the closely related avirulent species B …

Twelve Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates collected over a 32-month period from a patient
with chronic melioidosis demonstrated identical multilocus sequence types (STs). However …

Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei, the causative agents of melioidosis and glanders,
respectively, are designated category B biothreat agents. Current methods for identifying …

The early initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy is critical for improving the prognosis
of patients with septicemic melioidosis. Thus, the use of a rapid molecular diagnosis may …
