Annotating 640 Ashdown agar plates for the last batch of soil cultures 🤞🏻 can’t wait to see the results for the rainy season

#MedCase - In non-endemic regions, low clinical suspicion and limited access to specific tests may delay diagnosis of #melioidosis.
This case series illustrates its diverse clinical manifestations and the recommended approaches to treatment.

Infections like #melioidosis remind us that many high-risk pathogens remain neglected until they begin appearing in new geographies. Advancing this #vaccine to human #clinicaltrials could be a game changer for #globalhealth security. Congrats @tulaneu.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/posts/drmelv...

Last field trip in Amnat Charoen for the Burkh-Occur project. I was slowed down a bit by buffaloes crossing in front of the car 😬 It’s been raining so much this season, let’s see if my soil samples will reveal more Burkholderia pseudomallei than usual 🧐 #melioidosis
Drs. Eoin West and Sina Gharib from @uwmedicine.bsky.social were awarded an R21 from @niaidnews.bsky.social to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a novel plasma proteomic signature for #melioidosis.
Congratulations to both researchers! https://bit.ly/46RbddB

🚨 New preprint out!
Proud to share the first reported clinical case of polyclonal #melioidosis infection in QLD—also the first study applying integrative multi-omics at the bacterial level.
🧬 Time to advance diagnosis & build a multi-omics database!
Another intense day in the lab. For this season it sums up to 480 DNA extractions, 320 tubes for enrichment and 640 agar plates. So far we didn’t isolate any B. pseudomallei 😅 so I am crossing my fingers for final plates tomorrow #melioidosis #onehealth

5/ This is not just a rare tropical disease story—
It’s a climate-linked infectious disease warning.
When weather shifts, microbes follow. 🌧️🌡️

All the crops have grown… except for one that has been burned to the ground. Unexpected land use change 🤷♀️ but sampled the soil anyway. Let’s see. November will be our final sampling! #melioidosis #Bpseudomallei

Yes, #melioidosis can be used as a bioterrorism option. But as I mentioned in the text messages, there was one or a small number of cases from the Midwest (Ohio?) a few years back (2021?) linked to an essential oils product out of Walmart imported from Southeast Asia.
