A recent study using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates found a sequence type (ST60) to be common to both Thailand and Australia, contradicting earlier studies showing complete distinction between isolates from these regions. The ST60 isolates reportedly from Australia had been obtained for MLST from United Kingdom and U.S. collections. We have located and characterized the original Australian isolates; they were collected in 1983, and they are neither ST60 nor B. pseudomallei isolates. The B. pseudomallei MLST database has been corrected, and there is no ST common to isolates verified as obtained from Australia or from Thailand.
最近一项对类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌分离株进行多位点序列分型(MLST)的研究发现,序列类型(ST60)在泰国和澳大利亚均很常见,这与早期研究显示这两个地区的分离株完全不同相矛盾。据报道,用于MLST的来自澳大利亚的ST60分离株是从英国和美国的样本库中获取的。我们已经找到了原始的澳大利亚分离株并对其进行了鉴定;它们是1983年采集的,既不是ST60也不是类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌分离株。类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌MLST数据库已得到纠正,经核实从澳大利亚或泰国获得的分离株没有共同的序列类型。
