Abstract
A procedure for molecular identification of Burkholderia gladioli is d escribed, Specific 16S and 23S rRNA gene signature sequences were defi ned as primers fos PCR, The method allows rapid and specific discrimin ation of B. gladioli from related species (B, cepacia, B. multivorans, arts, B. vietnamiensis, B, mallei, B, pseudomallei, Ralsfonia pickett ii, and R eutropha) and should contribute to the clarification of its role as a human pathogen, e.g., in cystic fibrosis.
