Schematic representation of the gene cassette for flagellum formation in B. mallei (A) and B. pseudomallei (B). In B. mallei the fliP gene is disrupted by an IS407A element (gray arrows) that further promoted recombination, thus disrupting the cassette. Primer binding sites for differentiation of the two species according to the assay developed by Scholz et al. (21) are indicated by green/ red triangles.
