Abstract
A PCR procedure for the discrimination of Burkholderia mallei and Burk holderia pseudomallei was developed. It is based on the nucleotide dif ference 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.
