Title
Melioidosis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei in drinking water, Thailand, 2012
Abstract
We identified 10 patients in Thailand with cultureconfirmed melioidosis who had Burkholderia pseudomallei isolated from their drinking water. The multilocus sequence type of B. pseudomallei from clinical specimens and water samples were identical for 2 patients. This finding suggests that drinking water is a preventable source of B. pseudomallei infection.
