Two mechanics working at a garage in tropical northern Australia simultaneously developed upper limb melioidosis ulcers. Both patients had Burkholderia pseudomallei of identical pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) type (Spe I). Environmental sampling identified B. pseudomallei in a container of commercial hand wash detergent as the likely source of infection, although there were multiple isolates of different PFGE types to the clinical isolates.
在澳大利亚北部热带地区一家汽车修理店工作的两名机械师同时患上了上肢类鼻疽溃疡。两名患者感染的伯克霍尔德菌假鼻疽菌株具有相同的脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)类型(Spe I型)。环境采样在一瓶商用洗手液中发现了假鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌,这可能是感染源,尽管环境分离株的PFGE类型与临床分离株不同,且有多种类型。
