9 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis and was classified as a biologic agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, GA). Acute melioidosis has a case fatality rate of >40%, and septicemia is fatal in up to 90%. The aim of the study was to design 5'-nuclease real-time PCR assays for the rapid and reliable identification of the B. mallei/B. pseudomallei complex....
