Bichat 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 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...

15 صفحه اولDevelopment of capsular polysaccharide-based glycoconjugates for immunization against melioidosis and glanders
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei, the etiologic agents of melioidosis and glanders, respectively, cause severe disease in humans and animals and are considered potential agents of biological warfare and terrorism. Diagnosis and treatment of infections caused by these pathogens can be challenging and, in the absence of chemotherapeutic intervention, acute disease is frequently f...
