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

Genome-wide analysis reveals loci encoding anti-macrophage factors in the human pathogen burkholderia pseudomallei K96243 [PDF]

, 2010
Burkholderia pseudomallei is an important human pathogen whose infection biology is still poorly understood. The bacterium is endemic to tropical regions, including South East Asia and Northern Australia, where it causes melioidosis, a serious disease ...

Structure analysis of biologically important prokaryotic glycopolymers [PDF]

, 2013
Of the many post-translational modifications organisms can undertake, glycosylation is the most prevalent and the most diverse. The research in this thesis focuses on the structural characterisation of glycosylation in two classes of glycopolymer (

Type three secretion system-mediated escape of Burkholderia pseudomallei into the host cytosol is critical for the activation of NFκB. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundBurkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, a potentially fatal disease endemic in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia.

Pediatric suppurative parotitis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2016
Background: Suppurative parotitis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei has been rarely found outside endemic areas. Case presentation: Herein, we report the recovery of Burkholderia pseudomallei from the pus of a suppurative parotitis observed in a 12 ...

Flagellar Glycosylation in Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia thailandensis [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2011
Glycosylation of proteins is known to impart novel physical properties and biological roles to proteins from both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In this study, gel-based glycoproteomics were used to identify glycoproteins of the potential biothreat agent Burkholderia pseudomallei and the closely related but nonpathogenic B. thailandensis.

Accurate and rapid identification of the Burkholderia pseudomallei near-neighbour, Burkholderia ubonensis, using real-time PCR. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Burkholderia ubonensis is an environmental bacterium belonging to the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc), a group of genetically related organisms that are associated with opportunistic but generally nonfatal infections in healthy individuals.

A Machine Learning-Based Raman Spectroscopic Assay for the Identification of Burkholderia mallei and Related Species [PDF]

, 2019
Burkholderia (B.) mallei, the causative agent of glanders, and B. pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis in humans and animals, are genetically closely related. The high infectious potential of both organisms, their serological cross-reactivity,

The role of small proteins in Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 biofilm formation, persistence and intracellular growth [PDF]

, 2019
Burkholderia cenocepacia infections are difficult to treat due to resistance, biofilm formation and persistence. B. cenocepacia strain J2315 has a large multi-replicon genome (8.06 Mb) and the function of a large fraction of (conserved) hypothetical ...
