Identification of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei by 3 methods
Objective To identify Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei with 3 methods. Methods MALDI-TOF-MS
FQ-PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were used to identify 10 strains which may be Burkholderia mallei or Burkholderia pseudomallei
and the results were compared with those of traditional morphological and biochemical methods so as to select reliable method for identifying Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei. Results Two strains were identified to neither Burkholderia mallei nor Burkholderia pseudomallei. In the rest of 8 strains
6 strains were correctly identified by MALDI-TOF-MS
8 strains were correctly identified by FQ-PCR
and 4 strains were correctly identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Conclusion MALDI-TOF-MS and FQ-PCR are more suitable for identifying Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei than 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
