Evaluation of a latex agglutination assay for the identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei.
Cases of melioidosis and glanders are rare in the United States, but the etiologic agents of each disease (Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei, respectively) are classified as Tier 1 select agents because of concerns about their potential use as bioterrorism agents.
