Burkholderia pseudomallei Isolates from Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, Are Predominantly Susceptible to Aminoglycosides and Macrolides [PDF]
Melioidosis is a potentially fatal disease caused by the saprophytic bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Resistance to gentamicin is generally a hallmark of B. pseudomallei, and gentamicin is a selective agent in media used for diagnosis of melioidosis.

Molecular Procedure for Rapid Detection of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]
ABSTRACT A PCR procedure for the discrimination of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei was developed. It is based on the nucleotide difference T 2143 C (T versus C at position 2143) between B. mallei and B.

Identification and characterisation of toxin-antitoxin systems (TA) in Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]
The aim of this study was to identify and characterise type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems in Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of the human disease melioidosis. 8 putative TA systems were identified within the genome of B. pseudomallei

When unoccupied for centuries, archaeological sites are appropriate for studying the long‐term effects of past human occupancy on natural ecosystems, including the soil compartment. In this work, we show that four centuries of human occupancy have deeply and lastingly modified both the soil chemical and bacterial compositions inside a Roman fort in ...

Recent Advances in Burkholderia mallei and B. pseudomallei Research. [PDF]
Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei are Gram-negative organisms, which are etiological agents of glanders and melioidosis, respectively. Although only B. pseudomallei is responsible for a significant number of human cases, both organisms are classified as Tier 1 Select Agents and their diseases lack effective diagnosis and treatment ...

Accurate Reconstruction of Molecular Phylogenies for Proteins Using Codon and Amino Acid Unified Sequence Alignments (CAUSA) [PDF]
Based on molecular clock hypothesis, and neutral theory of molecular evolution, molecular phylogenies have been widely used for inferring evolutionary history of organisms and individual genes.

Halopseudomonas species: Cultivation and molecular genetic tools
This study aimed to access four different Halopseudomonas species isolated from challenging habitats. Therefore, we developed cultivation strategies on the one hand, and provided, on the other hand, a valuable toolbox for constructing robust chassis strains. Abstract The Halopseudomonas species, formerly classified as Pseudomonas pertucinogena lineage,
