Stable marker on flagellin gene sequences related to arabinose non-assimilating pathogenic Burkholderia pseudomallei.

Abstract excerpt

Using PCR-based isolation and sequence analysis of the flagellin gene from two distinct biotypes of Burkholderia pseudomallei, a 15-bp deletion was found within the variable domain of the gene in isolates capable of assimilating arabinose (Ara+). This finding led to the development of a PCR-based method in order to differentiate and identify pathogenic B. pseudomallei for epidemiological study. A pair of specific...
