Evolution of Burkholderia pseudomallei in Recurrent Melioidosis
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the etiologic agent of human melioidosis, is capable of causing severe acute infection with overwhelming septicemia leading to death. A high rate of recurrent disease occurs in adult patients, most often due to recrudescence of the initial infecting strain. Pathogen persistence and evolution during such relapsing infections are not well understood. Bacterial cells pre...
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.
متن کاملIn vitro interactions between cotrimoxazole and doxycycline in Burkholderia pseudomallei: how important is this combination in maintenance therapy of melioidosis?
Melioidosis is a serious community-acquired infection endemic in Southeast Asia and northern Australia, and is particularly prevalent in northeast Thailand. The treatment of septicaemic melioidosis is problematic having not only a 40% fatality rate but also a 23% relapse rate after the completion of antibiotic therapy.[1,2] In Thailand, current treatment recommendations include administration o...

متن کاملMelioidosis Caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei in Drinking Water, Thailand, 2012
We identified 10 patients in Thailand with culture-confirmed melioidosis who had Burkholderia pseudomallei isolated from their drinking water. The multilocus sequence type of B. pseudomallei from clinical specimens and water samples were identical for 2 patients. This finding suggests that drinking water is a preventable source of B. pseudomallei infection.
