Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis was found in a small cluster of cases in Tejuçuoca, Ceará, Brazil. Tests were carried out to determine its phenotypic characteristics: colony morphology on Ashdown agar and MacConkey agar, biochemical profile in conventional biochemical tests and API 20NE, arabinose assimilation and susceptibility testing by disk diffusion, comparing with data in the literature. This study confirms the presence of B. pseudomallei in Brazil and describes its characteristics.
类鼻疽的病原体——伯克霍尔德菌在巴西塞阿拉州特茹索卡的一小群病例中被发现。进行了多项测试以确定其表型特征：在阿什当琼脂和麦康凯琼脂上的菌落形态、常规生化试验和API 20NE中的生化谱、阿拉伯糖同化试验以及纸片扩散法药敏试验，并与文献中的数据进行比较。本研究证实了巴西存在伯克霍尔德菌，并描述了其特征。
