Arabinose assimilation defines a nonvirulent biotype of Burkholderia pseudomallei.

Infection and immunity - 1 Oct 1997

Smith M D, Angus B J, Wuthiekanun V, White N J

Abstract excerpt

Two distinct types of Burkholderia pseudomallei, differentiated by the ability to assimilate L-arabinose but with similar morphologies and antigenicities, can be isolated from soil in Thailand. Approximately 25% of soil isolates from northeast Thailand were arabinose assimilators (Ara+), but in 1,200 sequentially studied patients, only arabinose "nonassimilators" (Ara-) caused melioidosis (P < 0.0001). In a...
