Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Human Burkholderia mallei . . . Burkholderia mallei is a gram-negative bacterium that causes glanders disease, which primarily affects equids B mallei can infect humans and cause clinical manifestations ranging from subclinical infections to severe conditions such as septicemia or pneumonia

Molecular Typing of Burkholderia mallei Isolates from Equids with . . . Epidemiologic investigations indicated that trading of equids from Uttar Pradesh to other states played a major role in spreading glanders (2) However, B mallei isolates were not genotyped, which is necessary for understanding the epidemiologic association between glanders outbreaks across India
