Abstract

Twenty-seven isolates of Burholderia pseudomallei (formerly Pseudomonas pseudomallei) from ten patients with recurrent melioidosis were analysed by RAPD. In two cases RAPD patterns in recurrent isolates differed from the original isolates; one was considered a likely reinfection while the other may represent relapse from one of two strains initially infecting the patient. In two cases where a change in antibiotic resistance had occurred between original and relapse isolates, slight changes in RAPD patterns were found with one of the four primers used. In the other six cases the relapse was clearly due to the original strain re-emerging unchanged, with identical RAPD patterns with all four primers.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
