抄録

<jats:p> The complete genome sequence of <jats:italic>Burkholderia mallei</jats:italic> ATCC 23344 provides insight into this highly infectious bacterium's pathogenicity and evolutionary history. <jats:italic>B. mallei</jats:italic> , the etiologic agent of glanders, has come under renewed scientific investigation as a result of recent concerns about its past and potential future use as a biological weapon. Genome analysis identified a number of putative virulence factors whose function was supported by comparative genome hybridization and expression profiling of the bacterium in hamster liver <jats:italic>in vivo</jats:italic> . The genome contains numerous insertion sequence elements that have mediated extensive deletions and rearrangements of the genome relative to <jats:italic>Burkholderia pseudomallei</jats:italic> . The genome also contains a vast number (>12,000) of simple sequence repeats. Variation in simple sequence repeats in key genes can provide a mechanism for generating antigenic variation that may account for the mammalian host's inability to mount a durable adaptive immune response to a <jats:italic>B. mallei</jats:italic> infection. </jats:p>
