This review provides a state-of-the-art description of the performance of Sanger cycle
sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene for routine identification of bacteria in the clinical …

Pseudomonas fluorescens is not generally considered a bacterial pathogen in humans;
however, multiple culture-based and culture-independent studies have identified it at low …

The genus Burkholderia contains large number of diverse species which include many
clinically important organisms, phytopathogens, as well as environmental species. However …

The genus Pseudomonas currently contains 144 species, making it the genus of Gram-
negative bacteria that contains the largest number of species. Currently, multilocus …

Partial sequences of four core 'housekeeping'genes (16S rRNA, gyrB, rpoB and rpoD) of the
type strains of 107 Pseudomonas species were analysed in order to obtain a …

The genus Burkholderia comprises more than 60 species isolated from a wide range of
niches. Although they have been shown to be diverse and ubiquitously distributed, most …

Burkholderia glumae causes bacterial panicle blight of rice, which is an increasingly
important disease problem in global rice production. Toxoflavin and lipase are known to be …

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF
MS) has emerged as a rapid, highly accurate, and cost-effective method for routine …

We used multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) on a worldwide collection of the plant
pathogenic Ralstonia solanacearum (Betaproteobacteria) to retrace its complex evolutionary …

As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the
literature, it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these …
