Application of Glanders and Melioidosis Monoclonal Antibodies of Different Epitope Specificity for Pathogenic Burcholderia Detection and Identification

Abstract

Summarized are the modern approaches to choosing the methods and techniques of pathogenic burkholderia detection, literary data, and the results of the authors own studies on the problem of development of monoclonal preparations for fast identification of Burkholderia genus representatives. Discussed are the prospects both of modernization of monoclonal preparations and test-systems for detection of glanders and melioidosis etiological agents in different objects and of the differentiation of burkholderia species, and intraspecific typing of melioidosis agent strains.
