Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp), the causative agent of melioidosis, is unevenly distributed in the complex soil environment. Physicochemical factors in the soil have been reported to affect microbial communities in the soil. The effect of physicochemical factors on the number and diversity of organisms in the soil has not been reported. Twenty-five each B. pseudomallei-positive and -negative soil samples were...
