title: [Prospects of the use of chromosomal transformation for the identification of the causative agent melioidosis].
abstract: Prospects for the use of chromosomal transformation for the identification of Pseudomonas pseudomallei and some other medically important Pseudomonas species are considered. The method is simple, reproducible and highly specific. It permits the screening of a great number of cultures and can facilitate further study of the biology of P. pseudomallei and the epidemiology of melioidosis.
