Sequencing and characterization of a novel serine metalloprotease from Burkholderia pseudomallei

Abstract excerpt

Burkholderia pseudomallei, a Gram-negative bacterium is found in the soil and water, mainly in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. It is responsible for melioidosis in human and animals. The bacteria produce several potential virulent factors such as extracellular protease, hemolysin, lipase and lecithinase. The isolation of virulence genes and the study of their functions will contribute to our understanding...
