چکیده
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com B .pseudomalleus is capable of infecting almost anything because of the spectacular genetic structure, by possessing certain genomic island (GIs) that gives the ability to alteration and to adapt. The genes of this GIs play an important role in pathogenesis ability. Trains which cause disease in humans differ from those causing disease in other animals, Genes on these genomic islands may thus play an important role in the pathogenesis of human melioidosis. It may have the ability to cause disease in humans because of DNA it has acquired from other microorganisms [5]. Its mutation rate is also high, and the organism continues to evolve even after infecting a host [6]. These genetic alterations were primarily driven by environmental pressures outside the human or mammalian host [7].

Genomics Reveals a Unique Clone of Burkholderia cenocepacia Harboring an Actively Excising Novel Genomic Island
Burkholderia cenocepacia is a clinically dominant form among the other virulent species of Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc). In the present study, we sequenced and analyzed the genomes of seven nosocomial Bcc isolates, five of which were isolated from the bloodstream infections and two isolates were recovered from the hospital setting during the surveillance. Genome-based species identificati...

Infection by the Gram-negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei results in the disease melioidosis, acquired from the environment in parts of southeast Asia and northern Australia. Clinical symptoms of melioidosis range from acute (fever, pneumonia, septicemia, and localized infection) to chronic (abscesses in various organs and tissues, most commonly occurring in the lungs, liver, spleen, ki...

Antibiogram profile of 1590 clinical bacterial isolates based on thirteen different antimicrobial compounds showed that 1.6% of the bacterial isolates are multidrug resistant. Distribution pattern based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa constituted the largest group (83.6%) followed by Burkholderia pseudomallei sp. A191 (5.17%), Staphylococcus sp. A261 (3.45%). Am...
متن کاملComparative genomics and an insect model rapidly identify novel virulence genes of Burkholderia mallei.
Burkholderia pseudomallei and its host-adapted deletion clone Burkholderia mallei cause the potentially fatal human diseases melioidosis and glanders, respectively. The antibiotic resistance profile and ability to infect via aerosol of these organisms and the absence of protective vaccines have led to their classification as major biothreats and select agents. Although documented infections by ...
متن کاملThe Early Stage of Bacterial Genome-Reductive Evolution in the Host
The equine-associated obligate pathogen Burkholderia mallei was developed by reductive evolution involving a substantial portion of the genome from Burkholderia pseudomallei, a free-living opportunistic pathogen. With its short history of divergence (approximately 3.5 myr), B. mallei provides an excellent resource to study the early steps in bacterial genome reductive evolution in the host. By ...
