Multiple-antigen ELISA for melioidosis - a novel approach to the improved serodiagnosis of melioidosis

Abstract: BackgroundBurkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is endemic to Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Clinical manifestations of disease are diverse, ranging from chronic infection to acute septicaemia. The current gold standard of diagnosis involves bacterial culture and identification which is time consuming and often too late for early medical intervention. Hence, rapid diagnosis of melioidosis is crucial for the successful management of melioidosis.MethodsThe study evaluated 4 purif… Show more

“…Several previous studies demonstrate that truncated flagellin fragment and OmpA protein of B. pseudomallei serve as the diagnostic potential of melioidosis (Allwood et al 2008 ; Arora et al 2015 ; Chen et al 2003 ; Hara et al 2013 ). In this study, the recombinant proteins, OmpABT and FLAG300, from the closely related species, B. thailandensis , were evaluated as antigens which specifically react to melioidosis antibodies using indirect ELISA and we calculated the serodiagnostic indices.…”

“…A number of serodiagnostic antigens of B. pseudomallei have been revealed using protein microarray (Felgner et al 2009 ) and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) (Allwood et al 2008 ; Arora et al 2015 ; Wajanarogana et al 2013 ; Hara et al 2013 ). The majority of such antigens are cell surface-associated proteins such as outer membrane proteins (Omps), and secreted molecules.…”

“…B. pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis and generally, diagnosis is fully dependent on bacterial culture. Many diagnostic tests have been developed to detect B. pseudomallei including real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detecting type III secretion systems [ 18 ], loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method [ 19 ], multiple-antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [ 20 ] and a protein microarray [ 17 ]. However, none of these tests have been translated into a standard form of diagnosis.…”

ELISA is reasonably quick but limited in the number of probes and the use of complete antigens (such as recombinant proteins or complex saccharides) sets severe limitations in terms of cost and versatility 1 2 .…”
