Burkholderia Pseudo Mallei and Burkholderia Mallei, Two Potential Bioterrorism Agents, are Identified by their Clinical Features and Laboratory Findings

Abstract
Despite the fact that both organisms are now uncommon in Western nations, their distinct potential as agents of bioterrorism has recently piqued much interest. Because medical and laboratory personnel are less familiar with these organisms than they are with other selected bioterrorism bacterial agents, a greater awareness of Glanders and Melioidosis is essential for adequate emergency preparedness and response to the deliberate release of B. mallei and B. pseudo mallei. In the clinical laboratory, it is difficult to make a microbiological diagnosis for either species. The role of sentinel laboratories is emphasized in this review of the various difficulties and pitfalls associated with the clinical diagnosis of Melioidosis and Glanders.
