Sera from 420 military personnel serving in Sabah and Sarawk, Malaysia, were tested for antibodies to Pseudomonas pseudomallei exotoxin and whole cell antigens by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure (ELISA). Data showed that 54.4% of serum samples were positive for antibodies to P. pseudomallei exotoxin and 65.7% were positive for antibodies to the whole cell antigens. Samples gave much lower titers for anti-exotoxin antibodies compared to titers against crude whole cell antigens. The incidence of antibody to exotoxin was highest in the age groups ranging from 26 to 32 years, where the positive rates were higher than 40% and 30% for military personnel serving in Sarawak and Sabah, respectively.
对在马来西亚沙巴和砂拉越服役的420名军事人员的血清，采用酶联免疫吸附测定法（ELISA）检测抗类鼻疽假单胞菌外毒素和全细胞抗原的抗体。数据显示，54.4%的血清样本抗类鼻疽假单胞菌外毒素抗体呈阳性，65.7%的血清样本抗全细胞抗原抗体呈阳性。与抗粗制全细胞抗原的滴度相比，样本中抗外毒素抗体的滴度要低得多。外毒素抗体的发生率在26至32岁年龄组中最高，在砂拉越和沙巴服役的军事人员中，阳性率分别高于40%和30%。
