Colonial morphotypes and biofilm forming ability of Burkholderia pseudomallei.

Abstract excerpt

Burkholderia pseudomallei the causative agent of melioidosis, is being increasingly recognized as an important cause of morbidity and mortality in South East Asia. Biofilm formation of B. pseudomallei may be responsible for dormancy, latency and relapse of melioidosis. Based on the colonial morphology of the bacteria on B. pseudomallei selective agar medium, seven distinct morphotypes were identified. This study...
