We report a case of Burkholderia mallei causing glanders in a 73-year-old patient from the Northeast Region of Brazil. The patient was hospitalized with severe pneumonia. PCR and genomic sequencing confirmed B. mallei in pleural drainage. Genotyping revealed a novel genotype, emphasizing the need for genetic surveillance in zoonotic infections.
我们报告了一例由巴西东北部的 73 岁患者引起的马鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌病例。该患者因严重肺炎住院。PCR 和基因组测序证实了胸腔引流中的马鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌。基因分型显示了一种新的基因型,强调了对人畜共患病感染进行遗传监测的必要性。
