Sequence Determination of Burkholderia pseudomallei Strain NCTC 13392 Colony Morphology Variants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a biothreat and the causative agent of melioidosis. There are at least seven known colony morphotypes of B. pseudomallei that appear to have different virulence properties in animal models. We report the genome sequence of B. pseudomallei strain NCTC 13392 and the genomic variations of its eight morphotype derivatives.

Genome Sequence of Burkholderia pseudomallei NCTC 13392
Here, we describe the draft genome sequence of Burkholderia pseudomallei NCTC 13392. This isolate has been distributed as K96243, but distinct genomic differences have been identified. The genomic sequence of this isolate will provide the genomic context for previously conducted functional studies.
متن کاملTwo stable variants of Burkholderia pseudomallei strain MSHR5848 express broadly divergent in vitro phenotypes associated with their virulence differences
Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp), the agent of melioidosis, causes disease ranging from acute and rapidly fatal to protracted and chronic. Bp is highly infectious by aerosol, can cause severe disease with nonspecific symptoms, and is naturally resistant to multiple antibiotics. However, no vaccine exists. Unlike many Bp strains, which exhibit random variability in traits such as colony morphology...

متن کاملAltered Proteome of Burkholderia pseudomallei Colony Variants Induced by Exposure to Human Lung Epithelial Cells
Burkholderia pseudomallei primary diagnostic cultures demonstrate colony morphology variation associated with expression of virulence and adaptation proteins. This study aims to examine the ability of B. pseudomallei colony variants (wild type [WT] and small colony variant [SCV]) to survive and replicate intracellularly in A549 cells and to identify the alterations in the protein expression of ...
متن کاملThe detection of insertion sequences within the human pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei which have been identified previously in Burkholderia cepacia.
Using primers designed from the nucleotide sequences of five insertion elements identified previously in Burkholderia cepacia, the presence of two insertion sequences (IS406 and IS407) was detected in chromosomal DNA isolated from strains of the human pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei. The IS407 homologue was cloned from B. pseudomallei NCTC 4845 and nucleotide sequenced to confirm its identit...
