Interleukin 10 inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine responses and killing of Burkholderia pseudomallei. [PDF]
Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is endemic in northeastern Thailand and Northern Australia. Severe septicemic melioidosis is associated with high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and is correlated with poor clinical outcomes.

Melioidosis in the head-and-neck region
Burkholderia pseudomallei, an environmental saprophyte, causes an infection that results in melioidosis. A high case-fatality rate is linked to it. Melioidosis is becoming an increasingly global infection. It can present a wide spectrum of manifestations

Bioluminescent Diagnostic Imaging to Characterize Altered Respiratory Tract Colonization by the Burkholderia Pseudomallei Capsule Mutant [PDF]
Pneumonia is a common manifestation of the highly fatal disease melioidosis, caused by the select agent bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei. In this study we describe a new model system to investigate pulmonary melioidosis using bioluminescent-engineered ...

Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

ABSTRACT Amoebiasis, a gastrointestinal infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica, is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide among parasitic infections with over 100,000 deaths annually. Apart from dysentery, it can manifest as extraintestinal disease, most commonly liver abscess, and rarely pulmonary, cardiac, and brain involvement.
