Genotype analysis of Burkholderia pseudomallei using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD): indicative of genetic differences amongst environmental and clinical isolates.

Abstract excerpt

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, an infectious disease common in the tropics. Melioidosis is most prevalent in the northeastern part of Thailand. The diseases has diverse clinical manifestations ranging from mild localized to fatal septicemic forms. The bacterial genetic factors contributing to the severity of melioidosis have not been completely identified. We have developed a...
