2024年6月4日 · Melioidosis is caused by bacteria called Burkholderia pseudomallei, or B. pseudomallei. It's spread to people and animals through direct contact with soil, air, or water contaminated by the bacteria. Cases may increase after hurricanes, heavy rain, and other severe weather events because the bacteria rise to the surface of the soil.

2024年4月30日 · Melioidosis is diagnosed by isolating B. pseudomallei from blood, urine, sputum, skin lesions, cerebrospinal fluid, oropharyngeal swab, rectal swab, or abscesses, or by detecting an antibody response to the bacteria.

Melioidosis is a severe, potentially life-threatening bacterial disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, a gram-negative bacterium found in water and soil in tropical and subtropical environments worldwide . Melioidosis might manifest as localized, pulmonary, systemic, or disseminated infections.

2024年12月13日 · Melioidosis is caused by the environmental pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei. Among 1,331 patients with melioidosis during 1989–2023 in the Darwin Prospective Melioidosis Study in Australia, we identified 6 locally acquired cases caused by B. pseudomallei sequence type 46.

2022年7月27日 · The bacteria, Burkholderia pseudomallei or B. pseudomallei, was identified through sampling of soil and water in the Gulf Coast region of Mississippi.

Burkholderia pseudomallei, a saprophytic gram-negative bacillus, is the causative agent of melioidosis. The bacteria are found in soil and water and are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical countries.

2024年5月6日 · Melioidosis is a disease caused by bacteria (germs) called Burkholderia pseudomallei that occur naturally in certain parts of the world, including Southeast Asia and northern Australia. In the United States, the bacteria that causes melioidosis has been identified in soil and water in Mississippi, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

2010年7月12日 · The gram-negative bacillus Burkholderia pseudomallei is a saprophyte and the cause of melioidosis. Natural infection is most commonly reported in northeast Thailand and northern Australia ( 1 , 2 ) but also occurs in other parts of Asia, South America, and the Caribbean ( 3 ).

2024年5月6日 · Laboratory personnel are at risk for melioidosis exposure when working with Burkholderia pseudomallei samples. Suspected melioidosis samples should be handled by trained personnel. Clinicians appropriately labeling samples and good laboratory practices prevent most B. pseudomallei sample-related accidents.
