Journal ArticleDOI
Development and Evaluation of a Real-Time PCR Assay Targeting the Type III Secretion System of Burkholderia pseudomallei
Ryan T. Novak,Mindy B. Glass,Jay E. Gee,Daniel Gal,Mark Mayo,Bart J. Currie,Patricia P. Wilkins +6 more
TL;DR: The development of a discriminatory real-time assay for the rapid identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates and the evaluation of this assay for sensitivity against related species and detection in spiked human blood samples are reported on.

Journal ArticleDOI
Burkholderia pseudomallei virulence: definition, stability and association with clonality
Glen C. Ulett,Bart J. Currie,Timothy W. Clair,Mark Mayo,Natkunam Ketheesan,J. T. Labrooy,Daniel Gal,Robert Norton,Christopher Ashhurst Smith,Jodie L. Barnes,Jeffrey H. Warner,Robert G. Hirst +11 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that virulence of selected B. pseudomallei isolates is variable, being dependent on factors such as iron bioavailability, and support the importance of other variables such as inoculum size and host risk factors in determining the clinical severity of melioidosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitive and specific molecular detection of Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, in the soil of tropical northern Australia.
Mirjam Kaestli,Mark Mayo,Glenda Harrington,Felicity Watt,Jason Hill,Daniel Gal,Bart J. Currie +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the 104 collected soil samples revealed a significant association between B. pseudomallei-positive sites and the presence of animals at these locations and also with moist, reddish brown-to-reddish gray soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extreme weather events and environmental contamination are associated with case-clusters of melioidosis in the Northern Territory of Australia
TL;DR: Case-clusters of melioidosis where isolates exhibit diverse DNA macrorestriction patterns in the authors' region are linked to extreme weather events and outbreaks where isolate are predominantly of the same DNA Macrorestriction pattern are linked with contamination of an environmental source.
