−	*Causes [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Melioidosis (Pseudoglanders)\|melioidosis]] - endemic in Asia and Australia
−	*Primarily infects rodents
−	*Pathogenesis:
−	**Infection via ingestion, inhalation or skin wounds from environment
−	**Exotoxin, dermonecrotic protease and lecithinase implicated in pathogenicity
−	**Strain virulence and host immunosuppression important
−	*Clinical infections:
−	**Opportunistic infection with stress and immunosuppression predisposing to disease
−	**Abscesses develop in many organs including lungs, spleen, liver, joints, CNS, upper respiratory tract
−	**Chronic, debilitating, progressive disease with long incubation period
−	**Many animal species susceptible
−	**Referred to as pseudoglanders in horses
−	*Diagnosis:
−	**Specimens: pus from abscesses, affected tissues, blood
−	**Fluorescent antibody technique on tissue smears
−	**Blood agar and MacConkey agar plates, incubated aerobically
−	**Colonies have musty smell
−	**Lactose fermentation on MacConkey
−	**Slide agglutination
−	**ELISA, complement fixation and indirect haemagglutination tests for serum antibodies
−	*Treatment/control: slaughter of infected animals where exotic

−	*Causes [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Glanders\|glanders]], a contagious disease of ''Equidae''
−	*Nodules and ulcers in respiratory tract and on skin
−	*Largely eradicated but sporadic cases in Middle East, India, China
−	*Pathogenesis:
−	**Transmited by ingestion of food/water contaminated by nasal discharge of infected ''Equidae''; occasionally via inhalation or skin wounds
−	**Organism invades nasopharyngeal mucosa and spreads to other tissues via lymphatics
−	**Presence of ''B. mallei'' in host causes hypersensitivity reaction
−	*Clinical infections:
−	**Acute septicaemic form with fever, mucopurulent nasal discharge and respiratory signs; death within weeks
−	**Chronic disease more common:
−	***Nasal form: [[Nasal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of rhinitis\|rhinitis]]; ulcerative nodules develop on mucosa of nasal septum and lower part of turbinates; purulent blood-stained nasal discharge; regional lymphadenitis
−	***Respiratory form: respiratory distress; granulomatous lesions throughout lungs
−	***Cutaneous form (farcy): lymphangitis; nodules along lymphatic vesselsof limbs; ulcers develop and discharge pus
−	***May die after several months or recover and shed organisms from respiratory tract or skin
−	**Carnivores may contract disease by eating infected carcasses
−	*Diagnosis:
−	**Specimens include discharges from lesions and blood for serology
−	**Grows on media containing 1% glycerol; most strains are non-lactose fermenters on MacConkey agar
−	**Complement fixation and agglutination
−	**Serology
−	**Mallein test: mallein injected intradermally below lower eyelid; local swelling and discharge indicates positive reation
−	*Treatment/control:
−	**Test and slaughter policy where disease exotic
−	**Disinfection of contaminated areas using formalin or an iodophor
