Burkholderia pseudomallei and melioidosis

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2023
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is found in soil and water of tropical and subtropical regions globally. Modelled estimates of the global burden predict that melioidosis remains vastly under-reported, and a call has been made for it to be recognized as a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization.

The Burkholderia pseudomallei intracellular ‘TRANSITome’ [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2021
AbstractProkaryotic cell transcriptomics has been limited to mixed or sub-population dynamics and individual cells within heterogeneous populations, which has hampered further understanding of spatiotemporal and stage-specific processes of prokaryotic cells within complex environments.

Misidentification of Burkholderia pseudomallei, China [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
We report a case of melioidosis in China and offer a comparison of 5 commercial detection systems for Burkholderia pseudomallei. The organism was misidentified by the VITEK 2 Compact, Phoenix, VITEK mass spectrometry, and API 20NE systems but was eventually identified by the Bruker Biotyper system and 16S rRNA sequencing.

Current Advances in Burkholderia Vaccines Development

Cells, 2020
The genus Burkholderia includes a wide range of Gram-negative bacterial species some of which are pathogenic to humans and other vertebrates. The most pathogenic species are Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia pseudomallei, and the members of the ...

A Quadruplex Real-Time PCR Assay for the Rapid Detection and Differentiation of the Most Relevant Members of the B. pseudomallei Complex: B. mallei, B. pseudomallei, and B. thailandensis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The Burkholderia pseudomallei complex classically consisted of B. mallei, B. pseudomallei, and B. thailandensis, but has now expanded to include B. oklahomensis, B. humptydooensis, and three unassigned Burkholderia clades.

Survival of Burkholderia pseudomallei in Water [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2008
AbstractBackgroundThe ability ofBurkholderia pseudomalleito survive in water likely contributes to its environmental persistence in endemic regions. To determine the physiological adaptations which allowB. pseudomalleito survive in aqueous environments, we performed microarray analyses ofB.

Alanine racemase mutants of Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei and use of alanine racemase as a non-antibiotic-based selectable marker. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are category B select agents and must be studied under BSL3 containment in the United States. They are typically resistant to multiple antibiotics, and the antibiotics used to treat B.

A case of melioidosis with hemoptysis: Strategies to isolate and identify Burkholderia pseudomallei

Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background: Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei with diverse clinical manifestations. Mortality is due to septic shock and pneumonia. Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative rod with bipolar staining. Culture is
