Melioidosis presenting as a mycotic aneurysm in a Korean patient, diagnosed by 16S rRNA sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
A case of melioidosis with a mycotic aneurysm is reported. The blood and tissue isolates were identified as three different species of Burkholderia using the automated identification systems, VITEK 2 and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time ...

Antibodies Are Major Drivers of Protection against Lethal Aerosol Infection with Highly Pathogenic Burkholderia spp

open access: yesmSphere, 2019
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are the causative agents of melioidosis and glanders, respectively. There is no vaccine to protect against these highly pathogenic bacteria, and there is concern regarding their emergence as global public

Multiplex qPCR for reliable detection and differentiation of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2013
Background Burkholderia mallei and B. pseudomallei are two closely related species of highly virulent bacteria that can be difficult to detect. Pathogenic Burkholderia are endemic in many regions worldwide and cases of infection, sometimes brought by ...

Sequence-Defined Transposon Mutant Library of Burkholderia thailandensis

open access: yesmBio, 2013
We constructed a near-saturation transposon mutant library for Burkholderia thailandensis, a low-virulence surrogate for the causative agent of melioidosis (Burkholderia pseudomallei). A primary set of nearly 42,000 unique mutants (~7.5 mutants/gene) was

The identification of surface proteins of Burkholderia pseudomallei

open access: yesVaccine, 2007
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of the disease melioidosis is a human pathogen endemic in Northern Australia and South-East Asia. At present there is no available vaccine or effective treatment for this disease. Surface proteins play crucial roles in the host-pathogen interaction and have been exploited as vaccine candidates and ...

Burkholderia pseudomallei Evades Nramp1 (Slc11a1)- and NADPH Oxidase-Mediated Killing in Macrophages and Exhibits Nramp1-Dependent Virulence Gene Expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Bacterial survival in macrophages can be affected by the natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (Nramp1; also known as solute carrier family 11 member a1 or Slc11a1) which localizes to phagosome membranes and transports divalent cations ...
