Comparison of the characteristics and clinical course of patients with bacteraemia due to Burkholderia pseudomallei, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in tropical Australia
A well-resourced hub and spoke model of health care was able to minimise the 30-day mortality of individuals with B. pseudomallei, S. aureus and E. coli bacteraemia in this region of remote tropical Australia. However, B. pseudomallei bacteraemia had a higher 30-day mortality than bacteraemia due to S. aureus or E. coli, highlighting the lethal potential of the organism.
