Detection of Burkholderia thailandensis in Soil Samples, Suriname

Emerging Infectious Diseases
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.

Burkholderia Vaccines: Are We Moving Forward?

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
The genus Burkholderia consists of diverse species which includes both ‘friends’ and ‘foes’. Some of the ‘friendly’ Burkholderia spp. are extensively used in the biotechnological and agricultural industry for bioremediation and biocontrol.

Glutathione Impacts Both Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Virulence and Amphibian Cellular Defense in a Chytridiomycosis Model

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Glutathione shapes interactions between Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and amphibian hosts. In Bd, glutathione reductase is essential for survival, and exogenous glutathione enhances zoospore release. In host cells, Bd infection depletes glutathione and increases oxidative stress.

Dynamics of the CD9 interactome during bacterial infection of epithelial cells by proximity labelling proteomics

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 8, Page 2225-2247, April 2026.
We describe the CD9 interactome in epithelial cells for the first time. The interactome is diverse and dynamic and changes dependent on infection with specific bacteria. We validate these data by showing functional interaction between CD9 with CD44 or CD147. We therefore demonstrate that CD9 is a universal organiser of bacterial adhesion platforms able

Tracking melioidosis in Iran: Utilizing abattoir‐based surveillance as a One Health approach

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background Burkholderia pseudomallei, an environmental saprophyte bacterium, causes melioidosis in humans and animals. It was first discovered in Iran between 1967 and 1976 in small ruminants, equines, environments and humans.

Enterobacter Species: Opportunistic Human and Plant Pathogens With Plant‐Beneficial Traits

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The pathogen profile on Enterobacter species synthesises current knowledge on host range, disease symptoms, plant‐beneficial traits and compares genomic features within the genus. ABSTRACT Enterobacter species occur across diverse habitats and are best known for causing opportunistic and nosocomial infections in humans.

Description of two fatal cases of melioidosis in Mexican children with acute pneumonia: case report

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. In Mexico, the disease is rarely diagnosed in humans and there is no evidence of simultaneous environmental isolation of the pathogen.

Melioidosis presenting as a mycotic aneurysm in a Korean patient, diagnosed by 16S rRNA sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
A case of melioidosis with a mycotic aneurysm is reported. The blood and tissue isolates were identified as three different species of Burkholderia using the automated identification systems, VITEK 2 and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time ...

Ruptured Amoebic Liver Abscess With Empyema, Venous Thromboembolism and Bronchopleural Fistula: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Amoebiasis, a gastrointestinal infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica, is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide among parasitic infections with over 100,000 deaths annually. Apart from dysentery, it can manifest as extraintestinal disease, most commonly liver abscess, and rarely pulmonary, cardiac, and brain involvement.
