Nonclonal Burkholderia pseudomallei Population in Melioidosis Case Cluster, Sri Lanka.

ABSTRACT: A melioidosis case cluster of 10 blood culture-positive patients occurred in eastern Sri Lanka after an extreme weather event. Four infections were caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates of sequence type 594. Whole-genome analysis showed that the isolates were genetically diverse and the case cluster was nonclonal.
