Burkholderia mallei is highly pathogenic microorganism for both humans and animals. In this work, the possibility of the use of the genotyping method for differentiation between strains of B. mallei was studied. A collection of 14 isolates of B. mallei was characterized using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). RAPD was the best method used for detecting strain differences of B. mallei. It was suggested that this method would be an increasingly useful molecular epidemiological tool.
