Polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Burkholderia pseudomallei.
Melioidosis is a potentially lethal infection of humans and animals in Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Current methods for detection of the causative organism, Burkholderia pseudomallei, lack both speed and sensitivity. We report the development of a highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction...
