Environmental isolates of Burkholderia pseudomallei in Ceará State, northeastern Brazil.
Melioidosis has been considered an emerging disease in Brazil since the first cases were reported to occur in the northeast region. This study investigated two municipalities in Ceará state where melioidosis cases have been confirmed to occur. Burkholderia pseudomallei was isolated in 26 (4.3%) of 600 samples in the dry and rainy seasons.
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequences of 80 Environmental and Clinical Isolates of Burkholderia pseudomallei
Here, we present the draft genome sequences of 80 isolates of Burkholderia pseudomallei. The isolates represent clinical cases of melioidosis and environmental isolates from regions in Australia and Papua New Guinea where B. pseudomallei is endemic. The genomes provide further context for the diversity of the pathogen.
متن کاملThe Effect of Environmental Conditions on Biofilm Formation of Burkholderia pseudomallei Clinical Isolates
Burkholderia pseudomallei, a Gram-negative saprophytic bacterium, is the causative agent of the potentially fatal melioidosis disease in humans. In this study, environmental parameters including temperature, nutrient content, pH and the presence of glucose were shown to play a role in in vitro biofilm formation by 28 B. pseudomallei clinical isolates, including four isolates with large colony v...
متن کاملTrimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole resistance in clinical isolates of Burkholderia pseudomallei.
OBJECTIVES Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole is commonly used to treat melioidosis. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing using the disc diffusion method is commonly used in melioidosis-endemic areas, but may overestimate resistance to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed disc diffusion and Etest on isolates from the first positive culture for all patients presenting to...
متن کاملPhylogeography of Burkholderia pseudomallei Isolates, Western Hemisphere
The bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei causes melioidosis, which is mainly associated with tropical areas. We analyzed single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among genome sequences from isolates of B. pseudomallei that originated in the Western Hemisphere by comparing them with genome sequences of isolates that originated in the Eastern Hemisphere. Analysis indicated that isolates from the Wes...
