Abstract

Information regarding the genomes of bacteriophage of Burkholderia pseudomallei is still limited with few genomes sequenced. Other bacterial species have been proved to have lysogenic bacteriophage that play a clear role in virulence, but this is not the case with B. pseudomallei (Summer et. al., 2007) and further investigation is warranted. In this work, a bacteriophage was isolated from a highly virulent strain of B. pseudomallei The bacteriophage caused alterations in colonial morphology of other B. pseudomallei isolates, but did not clear changes in virulence in a BALB/c mouse model. Examination of the majority of the phage genome was then carried out.
