Abstract

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. Because of global transmission and expansion of
endemicity, clinicians should increase awareness of melioidosis.
