Melioidosis is a neglected tropical infection caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, which is found in soil and water across tropical countries. The infection spectrum ranges from mild localized lesions to severe sepsis. The clinical presentation, severity, and outcome are influenced by the route of infection, bacterial load, strain virulence, and specific virulence genes of B.

Food contamination with non-typhoidal (NTS) presents a significant public health risk, underscoring the critical need for rigorous food safety measures throughout the production, distribution, preparation, and consumption stages. Conventional diagnostic strategies are time-consuming and labor-intensive and are thus sub-optimal for throughput NTS detection. Bacteriophages (phages) are highly specialized bacterial viruses and exhibit extreme specificity for their hosts.

Background: Melioidosis is a multisystem infectious disease caused by the environmental bacterium . Osteomyelitis (OM) and septic arthritis (SA) are uncommon primary presentations for melioidosis but important secondary foci, often requiring prolonged therapy and multiple surgeries. We characterized the epidemiology, presentation, treatment, and outcomes of patients from 24 years of the Darwin Prospective Melioidosis Study (DPMS).

Background: Melioidosis cases are increasing in Southeast Asia, posing a significant challenge owing to the rising number of diabetic and immune compromised patients. Pneumonia is the most common presentation of melioidosis, while cutaneous melioidosis is rare.
Objectives: We report a case of primary cutaneous melioidosis (PCM) that eventually required intensive care unit (ICU) management.

Background: Burkholderia pseudomallei, causative agent of melioidosis, is a One Health concern as it is acquired directly from soil and water and causes disease in humans and agricultural and wild animals. We examined B. pseudomallei in soil and goats at a single farm in the Northern Territory of Australia where >30 goats acquired melioidosis over nine years.
