Title: Molecular procedure for rapid detection of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei. Author: Bauernfeind A, Roller C, Meyer D, Jungwirth R, Schneider I. Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1998 Sep; 36(9):2737-41. PubMed ID: 9705426. Abstract: A PCR procedure for the discrimination of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei was developed. It is based on the nucleotide difference T 2143 C (T versus C at position 2143) between B. mallei and B. pseudomallei detected in the 23S rDNA sequences. In comparison with conventional methods the procedure allows more rapid identification at reduced risk for infection of laboratory personnel.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
