We developed a microarray platform by immobilizing bacterial 'signature' carbohydrates onto epoxide modified glass slides. The carbohydrate microarray platform was probed with sera from non-melioidosis and melioidosis (Burkholderia pseudomallei) individuals. The platform was also probed with sera
The aerobic, Gram-negative motile bacillus, Burkholderia pseudomallei is a facultative intracellular bacterium causing melioidosis, a critical disease of public health importance, which is widely endemic in the tropics and subtropical regions of the world. Melioidosis is associated with high case
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei, the etiologic agents of melioidosis and glanders, respectively, cause severe disease in humans and animals and are considered potential agents of biological warfare and terrorism. Diagnosis and treatment of infections caused by these pathogens can
Burkholderia pseudomallei (basonym Pseudomonas pseudomallei) is the causative organism of melioidosis, a disease which is recognized as a major public health problem primarily in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. In this paper, we report on the identification, purification, and characterization
The Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis. D-glycero-β-D-manno-Heptose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase (HldC) is the fourth enzyme of the ADP-L-glycero-β-D-manno-heptose biosynthesis pathway, which produces an essential carbohydrate comprising the
The polysaccharide component contained in the slime of the causative agent of melioidosis was obtained. This component was found to be a biopolymer, mainly of the carbohydrate nature, consisting of galactose, glucose, mannose, rhamnose and two unidentified carbohydrates. The slime polysaccharide
Melioidosis is the term given to any infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. This bacteria is one of the important causative agents of life-threatening pulmonary infections in the tropical and subtropical areas. The initiation of respiratory infections is attachment of this bacteria to
Burkholderia pseudomallei is the cause of melioidosis, a fatal tropical infectious disease, which has been reported to have a high rate of recurrence, even when an intensive dose of antibiotics is used. Biofilm formation is believed to be one of the possible causes of relapse because of its ability
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis poses a serious threat to humankind. B. pseudomallei secretes numerous virulence proteins that alter host cell functions to escape from intracellular immune sensors. However, the events underlying disease pathogenesis are poorly
Certain environmental microorganisms can cause severe human infections, even in the absence of an obvious requirement for transition through an animal host for replication ("accidental virulence"). To understand this process, we compared eleven isolate genomes of Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp), a
