Burkholderia pseudomallei, Burkholderia thailandensis, and the Burkholderia cepacia
complex differ greatly in pathogenicity and epidemiology. Yet, they are occasionally …

The bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei causes melioidosis, a rare but serious illness that
can be fatal if untreated or misdiagnosed. Species-specific PCR assays provide a …

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

Close relatedness and genomic plasticity characterizing the high-threat pathogens
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei render the molecular diagnosis of these …

The present study was aimed at simplifying procedures to delineate species and identify
isolates based on DNA–DNA reassociation. DNA macro-arrays harbouring genomic DNA of …
