Prevalence and Identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei and Near-Neighbor Species in the Malabar Coastal Region of India.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Accurate identification of pathogens with biowarfare importance requires detection tools that specifically differentiate them from near-neighbor species. Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of a fatal disease melioidosis, is one such biothreat

Recombinant Salmonella Expressing Burkholderia mallei LPS O Antigen Provides Protection in a Murine Model of Melioidosis and Glanders. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are the etiologic agents of melioidosis and glanders, respectively. These bacteria are highly infectious via the respiratory route and can cause severe and often fatal diseases in humans and animals. Both

Systemic melioidosis with prostatic abscess

Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by the Gram-negative bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei. The organism is a soil saprophyte and humans acquire infection via percutaneous inoculation through a breach in the skin.

In silico analyses of penicillin binding proteins in Burkholderia pseudomallei uncovers SNPs with utility for phylogeography, species differentiation, and sequence typing.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Burkholderia pseudomallei causes melioidosis. Sequence typing this pathogen can reveal geographical origin and uncover epidemiological associations. Here, we describe B.

Burkholderia ubonensis Meropenem Resistance: Insights into Distinct Properties of Class A β-Lactamases in Burkholderia cepacia Complex and Burkholderia pseudomallei Complex Bacteria

mBio, 2020
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the founding member of the B. pseudomallei complex (Bpc), is a biothreat agent and causes melioidosis, a disease whose treatment mainly relies on ceftazidime and meropenem. The concern is that B.

Chronic osteomyelitis of the femur caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Journal of Clinical and Scientific Research, 2021
Melidiosis is a life-threatening infectious disease, and the causative organism is Burkholderia pseudomallei. It occurs as an environmental saprophyte in endemic regions of northern Australia and Southeast Asia.

An unusual case of primary melioidotic prostatic abscess complicated by perianal abscess

IDCases, 2018
Burkholderia pseudomallei is recognized to cause severe and fatal infections. Most of the infections caused by this facultative intracellular gram-negative bacterium are pneumonia, soft tissue, genito-urinary and central nervous system infection.

Diverse Burkholderia Species Isolated from Soils in the Southern United States with No Evidence of B. pseudomallei. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The global distribution of the soil-dwelling bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, causative agent of melioidosis, is poorly understood. We used established culturing methods developed for B.
