Glanders.
JAVMA, Vol 233, No. 4, August 15, 2008 G is a highly contagious bacterial disease of horses, mules, and donkeys that is characterized by respiratory, cutaneous, and lymphatic nodular lesions. The disease is zoonotic, affecting persons in close contact with infected animals or those working with the organism in laboratory settings. Once prevalent worldwide, glanders has been eradicated from most...
متن کاملBichat guidelines for the clinical management of glanders and melioidosis and bioterrorism-related glanders and melioidosis.
Glanders and melioidosis are two infectious diseases that are caused by Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei respectively. Infection may be acquired through direct skin contact with contaminated soil or water. Ingestion of such contaminated water or dust is another way of contamination. Glanders and melioidosis have both been studied for weaponisation in several countries in the pa...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology of Glanders, Pakistan
We collected epidemiologic and molecular data from Burkholderia mallei isolates from equines in Punjab, Pakistan from 1999 through 2007. We show that recent outbreaks are genetically distinct from available whole genome sequences and that these genotypes are persistent and ubiquitous in Punjab, probably due to human-mediated movement of equines.
متن کاملRecent Progress in Melioidosis and Glanders
B. pseudomallei and B. mallei can survive hostile conditions, becoming resilient to many antimicrobial agents, including antibiotics. In the paper by Rholl et al. (2011), the resistance to β-lactams, such as ceftazidime, was investigated. Genetic analysis of penA gene, encoding a putative twin arginine translocase (TAT)-secreted β-lactamase, demonstrated that PenA is secreted via the TAT system...
متن کاملBurkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei: Melioidosis and Glanders
The genus Burkholderia is currently composed of many species, but only three are notable pathogens for humans or animals: the former cepacia complex (described in Chapter 220) pseudomallei (the agent of melioidosis), and mallei (the agent of equine glanders). All three are aerobic, nonsporulating, straight or slightly curved gram-negative bacilli that were formerly placed in the genus Pseudomonas.
