Host responses to melioidosis and tuberculosis are both dominated by interferon-mediated signaling

Abstract:

Melioidosis (Burkholderia pseudomallei infection) is a common cause of community-acquired sepsis in Northeast Thailand and northern Australia. B. pseudomallei is a soil saprophyte endemic to Southeast Asia and northern Australia.
