| monoclonal antibodies to pseudomonas pseudomallei and their potential for diagnosis of melioidosis. | monoclonal antibodies (mabs) specific for pseudomonas pseudomallei antigens were produced by immunizing balb/c mice with a crude whole cell extract. hybrids secreting mabs specific for p. pseudomallei antigens were identified by an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) against a panel of crude whole cell extracts from p. pseudomallei, p. cepacia, p. aeruginosa, p. putida, p. alcaligenes, xanthomonas maltophilia, klebsiella pneumoniae, escherichia coli, enterobacter cloacae, salmonel ... | 1995 | 7535014 |
| latex agglutination for rapid detection of pseudomonas pseudomallei antigen in urine of patients with melioidosis. | a latex agglutination test for the detection of pseudomonas pseudomallei antigen in urine was evaluated for the rapid diagnosis of melioidosis. with unconcentrated urine, antigen was detected in only 18% of patients with melioidosis overall. however, when urine was concentrated 100-fold, antigen was detected in 47% overall and in 67% of patients with septicaemia or disseminated infection, in whom a rapid diagnosis is most important. the specificity of the test was 100%. these results compared fa ... | 1995 | 7538150 |
| selective broths for the isolation of pseudomonas pseudomallei from clinical samples. | | 1995 | 7538232 |
| isolation of pseudomonas pseudomallei from soil in north-eastern thailand. | in order to optimize the recovery from soil of pseudomonas pseudomallei, the cause of melioidosis, 3 selective broths were compared. a basal salt solution containing l-threonine (tbss) performed significantly better than trypticase soy broth containing crystal violet and colistin 50 mg/l (cvc50), both in isolation rate and suppression of overgrowth of other organisms, but the addition of colistin to tbss gave the best results overall. in a survey in north-eastern thailand, p. pseudomallei was re ... | 1995 | 7538233 |
| [transport medium for pathogenic pseudomonads]. | a transporting medium was designed for the transportation and preservation for 5 to 7 days of material infected with agents of malleus and melioidosis. foreign contaminating microorganisms gradually die in this medium, whereas solitary cells of malleus and melioidosis agents (100 bacterial cells per 0.1 ml) survive. | 1995 | 7538858 |

| effect of sorbitan monolaurate polyoxyalkylene (tween 20) on the ultrastructure of some bacteria. | the ultrastructure of listeria monocytogenes, salmonella typhimurium, pseudomonas pseudomallei and pseudomonas aeruginosa treated with 0.5 and 1% tween 20 was studied by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. specific changes in the cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane were observed. | 1994 | 7539732 |
| separation of antigenic glycoprotein fractions from cell-free homogenate of pseudomonas pseudomallei and characterization as tyrosine phosphatase. | cell-free extracts were prepared from pseudomonas pseudomallei cells by freezing-thawing, sonication, and differential ultracentrifugation. the extracts were subjected to column chromatography with deae-sepharose to obtain glycoprotein fractions. the fractions showed acid phosphatase activity to p-nitrophenyl phosphate, tyrosine phosphate, serine phosphate, but not to threonine phosphate. they were highly antigenic when tested by immunofluorescence assay with the sera of melioidosis patients. | 1994 | 7539939 |
| cellular lipid and fatty acid compositions of burkholderia pseudomallei strains isolated from human and environment in viet nam. | viet nam is known as an endemic area of melioidosis but its etiologic agent originated in viet nam was not extensively studied. for the first time, we analyzed the cellular lipid and fatty acid compositions of 15 vietnamese isolates of burkholderia pseudomallei, 10 from humans and 5 from the environment. cellular lipid compositions were analyzed by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography on silica gel g plates. cellular fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed by gas chromatography (gc) and gas ... | 1995 | 7540251 |
| [pseudomonas mallei and pseudomonas pseudomallei: introduction and maintenance of natural and recombinant plasmid replicons]. | comparative analysis of recipient activity of pseudomonas mallei, pseudomonas pseudomallei, and pseudomonas cepacia strains towards naturally occurring and recombinant plasmid replicons was carried out. autonomic broad host range vector plasmids based on rsf1010(incq) and psa(incw) replicons as well as integrative vectors based on psup202(co1e1) replicon have been constructed. the study has shown that naturally occurring plasmids rsf1010(incq), psa(incw), r15(incn), and rp4(incp) are being effic ... | 1995 | 7541512 |
| [laboratory control of effectiveness of chemotherapy in melioidosis]. | an undoubtable role of the melioidosis germ persistence in the form of l-variants with the development of dth in the relapses of the disease was stated. serological reactions such as cft and phar were shown to be of the diagnostic value but it was by far lower than the allergotest. no correlation between the antibody titers in the tested sera and the isolation of the bacterial or l-variants of the melioidosis germ was observed. the criteria of the recovery from melioidosis were: stable normaliza ... | 1995 | 7541620 |
| rapd analysis of isolates of burkholderia pseudomallei from patients with recurrent melioidosis. | twenty-seven isolates of burholderia pseudomallei (formerly pseudomonas pseudomallei) from ten patients with recurrent melioidosis were analysed by rapd. in two cases rapd patterns in recurrent isolates differed from the original isolates; one was considered a likely reinfection while the other may represent relapse from one of two strains initially infecting the patient. in two cases where a change in antibiotic resistance had occurred between original and relapse isolates, slight changes in ra ... | 1995 | 7543859 |
| structural characterization of the lipopolysaccharide o antigens of burkholderia pseudomallei. | a serologically typical strain of burkholderia pseudomallei (strain 304b) was found to produce two s-type lipopolysaccharides (lps) differing in the chemical structures of their o-polysaccharide (o-ps) components. structural analysis revealed that one o-antigenic polysaccharide (o-ps i) is an unbranched high-molecular-weight polymer of 1,3-linked 2-o-acetyl-6-deoxy-beta-d-manno-heptopyranose residues. the other lps o antigen (o-ps ii) is an unbranched polymer of repeating disaccharide units havi ... | 1995 | 7543882 |
