Abstract
Pseudomonas pseudomallei isolates from 62 human, 17 animal, 3 soil and 3 water samples were examined by genomic DNA digestion with PstI. Five major (RE I, II, III, IV, V) reproducible restriction patterns were observed, with most (56/62) of the human isolates displaying RE I (30/62), II (5/62), III (15/62), IV (4/62), V (2/62), and the animal (16/17), soil (2/3), water (3/3) isolates showing predominantly RE II profiles. Six human and one soil isolates showed patterns different from those of RE I to V. Restriction endonuclease analysis may be applied in epidemiological studies of melioidosis.Entities:
