Complete genome sequence of the encephalomyelitic Burkholderia pseudomallei strain MSHR305 [PDF]
We describe the complete genome sequence of Burkholderia pseudomallei MSHR305, a clinical isolate taken from a fatal encephalomyelitis case, a rare form of melioidosis. This sequence will be used for comparisons to identify the genes that are involved in

Risk Factors for Melioidosis and Bacteremic Melioidosis [PDF]
A case-control study was conducted in four hospitals in northeastern Thailand to identify risk factors for melioidosis and bacteremic melioidosis. Cases were patients with culture-proven melioidosis, and there were two types of controls (those with infections, i.e., with community-acquired septicemia caused by other bacteria, and those without ...

Adherence of Burkholderia pseudomallei cells to cultured human epithelial cell lines is regulated by growth temperature. [PDF]
We have investigated the adherence of Burkholderia pseudomallei, cultured under a number of different conditions, to six human epithelial cell lines. While several complex medium compositions had relatively little effect on adherence, growth at 30àwas ...

Transcriptomic analysis of longitudinal Burkholderia pseudomallei infecting the cystic fibrosis lung [PDF]
The melioidosis bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, is increasingly being recognised as a pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). We have recently catalogued genome-wide variation of paired, isogenic B.
