==Overview==

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.''
