19 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. Septicemic melioidosis patients have a high mortality rate within 48 hours. OBJECTIVE: To develop a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with a lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay for detection of B. pseudomallei in blood samples. METHODS: The PCR with wcbG gene primers and a PCR-LFD test were developed. The specificity and...
