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.

Identification and characterisation of toxin-antitoxin systems (TA) in Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of this study was to identify and characterise type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems in Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of the human disease melioidosis. 8 putative TA systems were identified within the genome of B. pseudomallei

Transcriptomic analysis of longitudinal Burkholderia pseudomallei infecting the cystic fibrosis lung [PDF]
, 2018 The melioidosis bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, is increasingly being recognised as a pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). We have recently catalogued genome-wide variation of paired, isogenic B.

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.A 46‐year‐old diabetic Vietnamese engineer with soil exposure presented with chronic pneumonia and soft tissue abscess, initially misdiagnosed and treated for tuberculosis. Bronchoscopy culture revealed Burkholderia pseudomallei confirming melioidosis, and the patient achieved complete recovery with appropriate antibiotic therapy, highlighting the ...

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-2 Impairs host defense in experimental melioidosis [PDF]
, 2016 Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM) -1 and TREM-2 are key regulators of the inflammatory response that are involved in the clearance of invading pathogens.

Risk Factors for Melioidosis and Bacteremic Melioidosis [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1999 A case-control study was conducted in four hospitals in northeastern Thailand to identify risk factors for melioidosis and bacteremic melioidosis. Cases were patients with culture-proven melioidosis, and there were two types of controls (those with infections, i.e., with community-acquired septicemia caused by other bacteria, and those without ...

Whole-genome sequencing of Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates from an unusual melioidosis case identifies a polyclonal infection with the same multilocus sequence type [PDF]
, 2015 Twelve Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates collected over a 32-month period from a patient with chronic melioidosis demonstrated identical multilocus sequence types (STs). However, whole-genome sequencing suggests a polyclonal infection. This study is the
