Burkholderia pseudomallei Laboratory Exposure, Arizona, USA

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We describe an incidental Burkholderia pseudomallei laboratory exposure in Arizona, USA. Because melioidosis cases are increasing in the United States and B. pseudomallei reservoirs have been discovered in the Gulf Coast Region, US laboratory staff could be at increased risk for B. pseudomallei exposure.
