Typical methods for the identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei colonies produce results in 18 h. The Remel RapID NF Plus kit produces results in 4 h. We used the kit for 190 stored B. pseudomallei isolates and correctly identified 189 of them. This kit produces consistent results for known B. pseudomallei isolates.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
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.
