Engineering E. coli recombinant strains for high yield production of Burkholderia pseudomallei specific antigens

A risk of introducing into the Russian Federation exotic infections including laboratory-confirmed melioidosis regularly recorded worldwide necessitates development and improvement of express diagnostics tools. Cross reactivity between phylogenetically related species of the genus Burkholderia compl...
