Continuing Evolution of Burkholderia mallei Through Genome Reduction and Large-Scale Rearrangements
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia mallei (Bm), the causative agent of the predominately equine disease glanders, is a genetically uniform species that is very closely related to the much more diverse species Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp), an opportunistic human pathogen and the primary cause of melioidosis. To gain insight into the relative lack of genetic diversity within Bm, we performed whole-genome comparative analysis of seven...
