Multilocus Sequence Typing and Evolutionary Relationships among the Causative Agents of Melioidosis and Glanders, Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei

Vol. 41, no. 5, p. 2068-2079, 2003. Page 2069, column 2, lines 6-16 should read as follows: “…The following pairs of primers were used for the amplification of the housekeeping gene fragments: ace-up (5′-CGGCGCTTCTCAAAACGATA-3′) and ace-dn (5′-GAATCGCCTTCACCATGTC-3′), gltB-up (5′ACGCTCGCGATCGCGATGAA-3′) and gltB-dn (5′-TTCAGCACGAGCGTCTGCTG-3′), gmhD-up (5′-GCAGTTCCTGTATGCGTC-3′) and gmhD-dn (5′-GAAGCACTGGTACTTGCC-3′), lepA-up (5′-CATATTCGCAATTTCTCGATC-3′) and lepA-dn (5′-CACGAGCATCACGACGCCG-3′), lipA-up (5′-GGCACCGCGACGTTCATG-3′) and lipA-dn (5′-GACCATCAGGCCCGATTTCG-3′), nark-up (5′-CTACTCGTGCGCTGGGAT-3′) and narK-dn (5′-GACGATGAACGGCACCCAC-3′), and ndh-up (5′-AGTCGCGACGTTCTACAC-3′) and ndh-dn (5′-CGAGTTGCAGACGAGATA-3′)…” The correct primer sequences are available at the Burkholderia pseudomallei MLST website (http://bpseudomallei.mlst.net).

Page 2071, column 2, line 1: “in 1942 from a horse in China” should read “in 1944 from a human in Burma.”
