Diagnosis of the ''B.pseudomallei'' bacteria can be made via specimens, including; pus from abscesses, affected tissues and blood.
Diagnosis of the ''B.pseudomallei'' bacteria can be made via specimens, including; pus from abscesses, affected tissues and blood.
The fluorescent antibody technique can be done on tissue smears. ''B.pseudomallei'' grows on blood agar and MacConkey agar plates, incubated aerobically. The colonies have a musty smell and you see lactose fermentation on MacConkey. Slide agglutination, ELISA, complement fixation and indirect haemagglutination tests for serum antibodies are also all diagnostic of ''B.pseudomallei.''
