Methods for the rapid detection and differentiation of the Burkholderia pseudomallei complex comprising B. pseudomallei, B. mallei, and B. thailandensis, have been the topic of recent research due to the high degree of phenotypic and genotypic similarities of these species. B. pseudomallei and B. mallei are recognized by the CDC as tier 1 select agents. The high mortality rates of glanders and ...

Cases of melioidosis and glanders are rare in the United States, but the etiologic agents of each disease (Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei, respectively) are classified as Tier 1 select agents because of concerns about their potential use as bioterrorism agents. A rapid, highly sensitive, and portable assay for clinical laboratories and field use is required. Our laboratory ha...

surgeons. The work is distinctly a new departure in surgical literature. It deals with the " fundamental principles of the art and science of surgery," according to the lights of modern research. The healing of wounds and the behaviour of diseased tissues are studied from every possible point of view, both as regards special tissues and special processes. The influence of bacteria on wounds rec...

Levels of Ag8 in cultural media varied considerably depending on periods of cultivation of bacteria. Additionally, the level of Ag8 varied among strains of B. pseudomallei and B. mallei. Among 61 strains of B. pseudomallei from the museum collection (most of which were isolated in Southeast Asia and northern Australia), three had increased ability to produce Ag8. These strains had been isolated...
