^T type strain.
List of bacteria to be differentiated from Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. These bacteria include closely related bacteria, possible sample contaminants, bacteria with very similar clinical presentation and other relevant bacteria. MSP reference spectra were constructed for the species indicated with an asterisk (*); all other samples indicate isolates of the MALDI Biotyper database.
