A Rare Case of Melioidosis in the Bronx.

Melioidosis is caused by a gram-negative bacillus , which is found in water and soil in endemic areas. There are indicators that  is increasing in endemic regions and expanding into new locations. It is unclear whether this is because of expanded boundaries or improved detection capabilities.

First case report on bacteremia.

, formerly known as Wautersiella falsenii, was first described in 2006. It is a non-motile, non-fermenting, gram-negative rod, which grows aerobically. A handful of case reports have described its isolation from respiratory, urinary and abscess samples.
