It was shown that the pathogen causing melioidosis was highly resistant to antibiotics including beta-lactams. Antibiotic sensitive mutants of P. pseudomallei were isolated after mutagenesis induced by nitrosoguanidine. Permeability for 3H-tetracycline and tetracycline sensitivity of the mutant cells was respectively 3 and 20 times as high as those of the initial parent strain. Gas liquid chromatography revealed quantitative and qualitative changes in separate sugars of the lipopolysaccharide structure in antibiotic sensitive mutants as compared to the initial strain.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
D008554 Melioidosis A disease of humans and animals that resembles GLANDERS. It is caused by BURKHOLDERIA PSEUDOMALLEI and may range from a dormant infection to a condition that causes multiple abscesses, PNEUMONIA and BACTEREMIA.
