Encephalomyelitis is uncommon but is associated with Burkholderia pseudomallei strains whose bimA gene, encoding an actin-based motility protein, resembles bimA from Burkholderia mallei (designated bimABm). We previously characterized the virulence of B. pseudomallei wild-type ATS2021 (bimABm). In a mouse model of ATS2021 aerosol exposure, lesions and inflammatory cytokines in the brain were seen early...
