Abstract: Burkholderia pseudomallei is a pathogen expanding in geographic range. We performed a retrospective study analyzing the clinical, microbiologic features of culture-proven melioidosis, and predictors of mortality based on data from a Singapore tertiary hospital between 2006- 2016. We found ICU admission, bacteremia, and mechanical ventilation to be associated with mortality.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
