Management of unexpected laboratory exposure to Burkholderia pseudomallei
We report here a couple of microbiological arguments that can usually guide microbiologists towards presumptive identification of B. pseudomallei. This case report shows the importance of MALDI-TOF MS accurate databases to ensure accurate microbial identification and antibiotic prophylaxis adapted to individuals who were exposed. We also want to underline the importance of developing an effective strategy of prevention against any accidental exposure that can occur in a microbiological laboratory.PMID:38391168 | DOI:10.1684/abc.2023.1854
