Innate Immune Response to Burkholderia mallei

Abstract

Burkholderia mallei is a facultative intracellular pathogen that causes the highly contagious and often fatal disease, glanders. With its high rate of infectivity via aerosol and recalcitrance towards antibiotics, this pathogen is considered a potential biological threat agent. This review focuses on the most recent literature highlighting host innate immune response to B. mallei.
