A diagnosis of ''B.mallei'' can be made by collecting specimens, including discharges from lesions and blood for serology. The bacteria grows on media containing 1% glycerol. Most strains are non-lactose fermenters on MacConkey agar. Complement fixation and agglutination can be carried out, as can serology.

The Mallein test can be done, where mallein is injected intradermally below the lower eyelid; local swelling and discharge indicates positive reation.
