Funded Activity Summary

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a bacterial organism found in soil and water that is the causative agent of melioidosis, a serious invasive disease of humans and animals occurring in tropical areas including northern Australia. Mortality is high owing to only limited treatment options being available. By defining the molecular mechanisms how B. pseudomallei evades removal from infected cells, we aim to identify specific bacterial targets that may form the basis of future prevention strategies.
