Molecular characterization of putative virulence determinants and identification of specific immunogenic polypeptides for the serological diagnosis of burkholderia pseudomallei infections / Puah Suat Moi

The Gram-negative saprophyte Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, an infectious disease which is endemic in Southeast Asia and northern Australia. This bacterium possesses many virulence factors which are thought to contribute to its survival and pathogenicity. Six genes...
