Use of the Phytopathogenic Effect for Studies of Burkholderia Virulence

  • Methods

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

The phytopathogenic effect of the pseudomallei group Burkholderia is demonstrated on the Peireskia aculeata model. A method for evaluation of the effect is suggested. The effect correlates with the levels of Burkholderia pseudomallei, Burkholderia mallei, and Burkholderia thailandensis virulence for laboratory animals. P. aculeata can be used as a model for preliminary studies of the virulence of the above species.
