Multisystemic Disease and Septicemia Caused by Presumptive <i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i> in American Quarter Horse, Florida, USA
We report a presumptive case of melioidosis caused by an atypical Burkholderia pseudomallei serotype in an American quarter horse in north-central Florida, USA, through archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens dating back to 2006. This case underscores the potential pathologic impact of emergent B. pseudomallei in the Gulf region of the United States.
