    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.... mallei isolates. This assay uses a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes the capsular polysaccharide produced by B. pseudomallei and B. mallei, but is absent in closely related Burkholderia species.

    Antigenic relatedness between Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei
    (2002-01-01) Narisara Anuntagool; Stitaya Sirisinha; Mahidol University
    Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are causative agents of distinct diseases, namely, melioidosis and glanders, respectively. The two species are very closely related, based on DNA-DNA homology, base sequence of the 16S r...RNA, and phenotypic characteristics. Based on the use of polyclonal antisera, B. pseudomallei and B. mallei are also found to be antigenically closely related to one another. We previously reported the production of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against B. pseudomallei

    PCR-RFLP based differentiation of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei
    (2004-04-01) Suda Tanpiboonsak; Atchara Paemanee; Sasinee Bunyarataphan; Sumalee Tungpradabkul; Mahidol University
    Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei manifest a high similarity with regard to clinical syndromes, glanders and melioidosis. Phenotypic and genotypic characters are also highly similar. In an attempt to differentiate the two organisms..., the molecular method was applied. This study aimed to identify the different DNA fragment in B. mallei, as compared with B. pseudomallei. The Sau3AI-digested genomic DNA patterns of B. mallei and B. pseudomallei are distinctive, especially the DNA fragments

    Antibodies 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.

    Antimicrobial drug-selection markers for Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei
    (2008-11-01) Herbert P. Schweizer; Sharon J. Peacock; Colorado State University; Mahidol University; University of Oxford
    Genetic research into the select agents Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei is currently hampered by a paucity of approved antimicrobial drug-selection markers. The strict regulations imposed on researchers in the United States but not in other

    Short report: Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis as a discriminatory typing technique for the biothreat agent Burkholderia mallei

    Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was used to type 21 laboratory strains of Burkholderia mallei. We demonstrated good resolution by PFGE together with clustering of some geographically related isolates..., and confirmed previous observations that B. mallei is clonal as defined by MLST.
