Detection of Burkholderia thailandensis in Soil Samples, Suriname

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Melioidosis, caused by the highly lethal pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei, is emerging in North and South America. We studied soil samples in Suriname to determine endemicity of Burkholderia species. B. thailandensis was isolated, but B.

Burkholderia Vaccines: Are We Moving Forward?

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
The genus Burkholderia consists of diverse species which includes both ‘friends’ and ‘foes’. Some of the ‘friendly’ Burkholderia spp. are extensively used in the biotechnological and agricultural industry for bioremediation and biocontrol.

Burkholderia pseudomallei Isolates from Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, Are Predominantly Susceptible to Aminoglycosides and Macrolides [PDF]

, 2014
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.

Structural and functional specialization of Bordetella pertussis DsbA for pertussis toxin folding

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Disulphide bonds (Dsbs) are essential for the folding, stability, and function of many secreted and membrane‐associated proteins in bacteria. In Gram‐negative species, these bonds are introduced by the Dsb enzyme family, with DsbA acting as the primary thiol oxidase.

Structural characterisation of nucleotide sugar short‐chain dehydrogenases/reductases from the thermophilic pseudomurein‐containing methanogen Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus ΔH

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 2, Page 492-513, January 2026.
Nucleotide sugar short‐chain dehydrogenases/reductases (NS‐SDRs) are involved in pseudomurein and capsular polysaccharide formation in methanogenic Archaea. Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus possesses several NS‐SDRs labelled Mth375, Mth380, Mth373, Mth631 and Mth1789.

Tracking melioidosis in Iran: Utilizing abattoir‐based surveillance as a One Health approach

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background Burkholderia pseudomallei, an environmental saprophyte bacterium, causes melioidosis in humans and animals. It was first discovered in Iran between 1967 and 1976 in small ruminants, equines, environments and humans.

Drug Design and Delivery for Intracellular Bacteria: Emerging Paradigms

Drug Development Research, Volume 86, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Intracellular bacteria exploit host cell niches, such as lysosomes, phagosomes, cytosol, entire cells, and even erythrocytes, to evade immune clearance and escape conventional antibiotics. These environments pose numerous therapeutic challenges, including crossing host cell membranes, navigating endosomal trafficking, tolerating acidic and ...

Description of two fatal cases of melioidosis in Mexican children with acute pneumonia: case report

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. In Mexico, the disease is rarely diagnosed in humans and there is no evidence of simultaneous environmental isolation of the pathogen.
