Development and evaluation of polymerase chain reaction assay to detect Burkholderia genus and to differentiate the species in clinical specimens

Molecular-based techniques are becoming desirable as tools for identification of infectious diseases. Amongst the Burkholderia spp., there is a need to differentiate Burkholderia pseudomallei from Burkholderia cepacia, as misidentification could lead to false treatment of patients. In this study, co...
