Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) were produced against two B. pseudomallei high-purified membrane proteins with Mr 29 kDa (p29) and 45 kDa (p45). Monoclonal antibodies from culture supernatant fluids of 4F2 and 1G11 clones showed specific interaction with ...

PCR-RFLP based differentiation of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei
Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei manifest a high similarity with regard to clinical syndromes, glanders and melioidosis. Phenotypic and genotypic characters are also highly similar. In an attempt to differentiate the two organisms, the molecular method was applied. This study aimed to identify the different DNA fragment in B.

Characterization of an autotransporter adhesin protein shared by Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]
Autotransporters form a large family of outer membrane proteins specifying diverse biological traits of Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, we report the identification and characterization of a novel autotransporter gene product of Burkholderia mallei (locus tag BMA1027 in strain ATCC 23344).Database searches identified the gene in at least seven B.

A comprehensive glycosylation study of diversely protected and activated d‐idopyranosyl and 6‐deoxy‐d‐ido‐heptopyranosyl donors using intra‐ and intermolecular coupling strategies is reported. Intramolecular aglycon delivery afforded 1,2‐cis‐β‐idopyranosides, while intermolecular glycosylation yielded chromatographically separable α‐ and β‐linked ...

Natural Burkholderia mallei Infection in Dromedary, Bahrain
We confirm a natural infection of dromedaries with glanders. Multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis of a Burkholderia mallei strain isolated from a diseased dromedary in Bahrain revealed close genetic proximity to strain Dubai 7, which caused an outbreak of glanders in horses in the United Arab Emirates in 2004.

Evaluation of a Latex Agglutination Assay for the Identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei [PDF]
Cases of melioidosis and glanders are rare in the United States, but the etiologic agents of each disease (Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei, respectively) are classified as Tier 1 select agents because of concerns about their potential use as bioterrorism agents.
