Molecular analysis of clinical < i > Burkholderia pseudomallei < /i > isolates from southwestern coastal region of India, using multi-locus sequence typing

ConclusionsOverall, the results of this study suggest that the IndianB.pseudomallei isolates are closely related with lesser heterogeneity among them and cluster in one major group suggesting clonality of the isolates. However, it appears that there are a few outliers which are distantly related to the majority of Indian STs. Phylogenetic analysis suggest that Indian isolates are closely related to isolates from Southeast Asia, particularly from South Asia.
