Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Human 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
Management of Accidental Laboratory Exposure to Glanders is a disease of equines caused by Burkholderia mallei, which appears to be a clone of B pseudomallei that has lost genetic material in association with a host-adapted parasitic existence The infection is now rare in horses in most parts of the world, and human infections, which may occur in those in close contact with infected
Laboratory-Acquired Human Glanders --- Maryland, May 2000 In humans, glanders usually is acquired through direct skin or mucous membrane contact with infected animal tissues The incubation period usually is 1 to 14 days The clinical presentation varies (4,5); cutaneous inoculation can result in localized infection with nodule formation and lymphandenitis (4)
Epidemiology of Pathogens Listed as Potential Bioterrorism Agents, the . . . Glanders is a disease primarily found in horses and was eradicated from the European Union by strict control measures Infection can occur by contact with infected animals through mucous membrane or skin; clinical manifestations range from localized disease to sepsis
Natural Burkholderia mallei Infection in Dromedary, Bahrain We report natural B mallei infection in a dromedary that occurred during a glanders outbreak in horses Clinical signs as well as gross pathologic and microscopic lesions of the diseased dromedary were similar to changes seen in equids

Alfred Whitmore and the Discovery of Melioidosis The victim, however, had no history of recent animal exposure, and cultures yielded a bacterium that they recognized as different from what was then known as Bacillus mallei (now Burkholderia mallei), the cause of glanders, in its rapid luxuriant growth and motility
Workshop on Treatment of and Postexposure Prophylaxis for For postexposure prophylaxis, recommended drugs are trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole or co-amoxiclav To improve the timely diagnosis of melioidosis and glanders, further development and wide distribution of rapid diagnostic assays were also recommended
