LP14389-8 Burkholderia pseudomallei
Burkholderia pseudomallei (previously Pseudomonas pseudomallei, Malleomyces pseudomallei, Pfeiferella pseudomallei, Bacillus whitmori) aka Whitmore's bacillus is a Gram-negative, bipolar, aerobic, motile rod-shaped bacterium. A human and animal pathogen, B. pseudomallei causes melioidosis. B. pseudomallei measures 2-5 um in length and 0.4-0.8 um in diameter and are capable self-propulsion using flagellae. Endemic in soil and water of South-East Asia and North Australia, the two most important serovars clinically are (Type Iara+ and Type IIara-), corresponding to the above-mentioned geographic locations. Both serovars are roughly equal in pathogenicity and are distinguished by their ability to metabolize L-arabinose. The bacteria can grow in a number artficial nutrient environments, especially betaine - and arginine -containing. In vitro , optimal proliferation temperature is reported around 40°C in pH -neutral or slightly acidic environments (pH 6.8-7.0).

LP6304-2 HAI
The hemagglutination-inhibition assay (HAI) can be used to identify subtypes of hemagglutinin producing viruses, such as Influenza. HAI can also be used to identify the subtype-specificity of antibodies against the virus. Normally, Influenza's hemagglutinin glycoprotein binds to receptors on the surface of red blood cells, causing them to agglutinate. If antibodies specific to the virus are present in the patient sample, they will bind to the virus, which prevents the virus from binding to the red blood cells and therefore prevents agglutination. To determine which subtype of virus is present, a viral isolate is tested against a series of antibodies with known subtype specificities. Whichever antibody inhibits red cell agglutination identifies the viral subtype. Similarly, antibody specificity is identified by testing the patient sample against known virus subtypes.
