Seronegative Bacteremic Melioidosis Caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei with Ambiguous Biochemical Profile: Clinical Importance of Accurate Identification by 16S rRNA Gene and groEL Gene Sequencing

An aerobic gram-negative bacterium was isolated from the blood and sputum of an 84-year-old, chair-bound nursing home resident with acute bacteremic pneumonia. Although the phenotypic characteristics suggested that the bacterium could be Burkholderia pseudomallei, the Vitek 1 system (GNI+), which ca...
