Identification of the acid phosphatase (acpA) gene homologues in pathogenic and non-pathogenic Burkholderia spp. facilitates TnphoA mutagenesis
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are pathogens responsible for disease in both humans and animals. Burkholderia thailandensis, while phylogenetically similar, is considered avirulent in comparison. These three species exhibit phosphatase activity when grown on media containing chromogenic substrates such as 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (XP). Tn5-OT182 mutagenesis has been utilized to...
