Brief description Melioidosis is a disease with high mortality that is caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Autophagy is a natural part of the mammalian immune system. This project seeks to explain how Burkholderia pseudomallei avoids killing by host autophagy and identify the bacterial factors necessary for its survival within cells. The identified genes will be future targets for medical intervention.
