<i>Pseudomonas pseudomallei</i>isolates collected over 25 years from a non-tropical endemic focus show clonality on the basis of ribotyping
1 Oct 1994
Abstract excerpt
Between 1966 and 1991, melioidosis, a disease caused by Pseudomonas pseudomallei that is mostly confined to tropical regions, occurred in farm animals and a farmer in temperate south-west Western Australia. Using an Escherichia coli probe containing a ribosomal RNA operon, P. pseudomallei DNA from isolates from 8 animals, a soil sample and the human case showed an identical ribotype on Southern blotting. The...
