چکیده
Investigation of the in vitro activity of tigecycline against Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia thailandensis revealed that the inhibition zone diameters of tigecycline against all isolates were >or=20 mm and that the MIC50 values were 0.5 and 1 microg/ml and the MIC90 values were 2 and 1.5 microg/ml for B. pseudomallei and B. thailandensis, respectively.

Use of antigens derived from Burkholderia pseudomallei, B. thailandensis, and B. cepacia in the indirect hemagglutination assay for melioidosis.
The serological diagnosis of melioidosis is carried out using the indirect hemagglutination assay. We looked at the reactivity of sera from culture-proven cases of melioidosis from north Queensland against antigens derived from Burkholderia pseudomallei, B. thailandensis, and B. cepacia. Cross-reactivity between sera from culture-positive cases of melioidosis and B. thailandensis was demonstrated.
متن کاملActin-binding proteins from Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia thailandensis can functionally compensate for the actin-based motility defect of a Burkholderia pseudomallei bimA mutant.
Recently we identified a bacterial factor (BimA) required for actin-based motility of Burkholderia pseudomallei. Here we report that Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia thailandensis are capable of actin-based motility in J774.2 cells and that BimA homologs of these bacteria can restore the actin-based motility defect of a B. pseudomallei bimA mutant. While the BimA homologs differ in their am...
متن کاملRapid multiplex immunofluorescent assay to detect antibodies against Burkholderia pseudomallei and taxonomically closely related nonfermenters.
An indirect immunofluorescent assay to detect antibodies against the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Burkholderia pseudomallei and taxonomically closely related species was developed with the Luminex system. LPSs of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia, Burkholderia thailandensis, Burkholderia vietnamiensis, B. pseudomallei, and Burkholderia mallei were successfully conjugated to Luminex mi...
متن کاملProtection against experimental melioidosis following immunization with live Burkholderia thailandensis expressing a manno-heptose capsule.
Melioidosis is a severe infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. It is highly resistant to antibiotic treatment, and there is currently no licensed vaccine. Burkholderia thailandensis is a close relative of Burkholderia pseudomallei but is essentially avirulent in mammals. In this report, we detail the protective efficacy of immunization with live B. thailandensis E555, a strain ...
متن کاملAntibodies from patients with melioidosis recognize Burkholderia mallei but not Burkholderia thailandensis antigens in the indirect hemagglutination assay.
The indirect hemagglutination assay routinely used to detect antibodies to Burkholderia pseudomallei was modified to detect cross-reactivity of antibodies to B. pseudomallei, B. mallei, and B. thailandensis antigens. We demonstrate a lack of cross-reactivity between B. pseudomallei and B. thailandensis but marked cross-reactivity between B. pseudomallei and B. mallei.
