Epidemiological Tracking and Population Assignment of the Non-Clonal Bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei

Rapid assignment of bacterial pathogens into predefined populations is an important first step for epidemiological tracking. For clonal species, a single allele can theoretically define a population. For non-clonal species such as Burkholderia pseudomallei, however, shared allelic states between dis...
