Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Bacteria that associated with melioidosis severity and variable disease outcomes single time point at patient admission Summary statistics of bacterial genetic factors,Patient biomarkers that associated with melioidosis severity and variable disease outcomes single time point at patient admission Summary statistics of host biomarkers

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
host diabetic status modulate the effect of the bacterial in disease single time point at patient admission Summary statistics of bacterial genetic factors being modulated by host diabetic status,host diabetic status modulate the effect of the patient biomarkers in disease single time point at patient admission Summary statistics of host biomarkers being modulated by host diabetic status
