A possible pitfall in the identification of<i>Burkholderia mallei</i>using molecular identification systems based on the sequence of the flagellin<i>fliC</i>gene
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Amotile Burkholderia mallei and motile Burkholderia pseudomallei display a high similarity with regard to phenotype and clinical syndromes, glanders and melioidosis. The aim of this study was to establish a fast and reliable molecular method for identification and differentiation. Despite amotility, the gene of the filament forming flagellin (fliC) could be completely sequenced in two B. mallei strains. Only one...
