Environmental factors affecting Burkholderia pseudomallei biofilm formation.
Melioidosis is highly prevalent in Northeast Thailand which is associated with high incidence of Burkholderia pseudomallei present in the soil of this region. B. pseudomallei when present in biofilm becomes resistant to numerous environmental factors and also to certain antibiotics. In this study, we examined the effects of several environmentally relevant factors (salinity, iron, manganese and...
متن کاملThe Contribution of Soil Physicochemical Properties to the Presence and Genetic Diversity of Burkholderia Pseudomallei.
Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp), the causative agent of melioidosis, is unevenly distributed in the complex soil environment. Physicochemical factors in the soil have been reported to affect microbial communities in the soil. The effect of physicochemical factors on the number and diversity of organisms in the soil has not been reported. Twenty-five each B. pseudomallei-positive and -negative so...
متن کاملPhysicochemical Properties Influencing Presence of Burkholderia pseudomallei in Soil from Small Ruminant Farms in Peninsular Malaysia
Soil is considered to be a major reservoir of Burkholderia pseudomallei in the environment. This paper investigates soil physicochemical properties that may influence presence of B. pseudomallei in soil samples from small ruminant farms in Peninsular Malaysia. Soil samples were collected from the farms and cultured for B. pseudomallei. The texture, organic matter and water contents, pH, element...
متن کاملGenomic Sequence of Burkholderia multivorans NKI379, a Soil Bacterium That Inhibits the Growth of Burkholderia pseudomallei
Burkholderia multivorans NKI379 is a soil bacterium that exhibits an antagonistic effect against the growth of Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of the infectious disease melioidosis. We report the draft genomic sequence of B. multivorans NKI379, which has a G+C content of 67% and 5,203 candidate protein-encoding genes.
متن کاملPhysicochemical Factors Affecting Persistence of Francisella Tularensis in Soil
Francisella tularensis (FT) is gram negative, non-motile, capsulated and intracellular zoonotic fastidious bacteria, causing tularemia in both animals and human. Soil texture and heavy metals play an important role in survival and persistence of microbes in environment. In the present study, association of physical and chemical composition of soil was determined in 74 FT positive and negative s...
