Abstract

Assessed were possibilities of identification and differentiation of glanders and melioidosis etiological agents by means of PCR method using different nucleotide sequences of the pathogenic Burkholderia. Primers perspective for inclusion in the test-system assigned for detection of glangers and melioidosis etiological agents DNA in environmental samples and biological materials were selected.
