Detection of Burkholderia thailandensis in Soil Samples, Suriname

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Melioidosis, caused by the highly lethal pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei, is emerging in North and South America. We studied soil samples in Suriname to determine endemicity of Burkholderia species. B. thailandensis was isolated, but B. pseudomallei was not. A multidisciplinary approach could establish clinical and ecologic distribution of both Burholderia species in Suriname.
