The frequency with which melioidosis results from inhalation rather than percutaneous inoculation or ingestion is unknown. We recovered Burkholderia pseudomallei from air samples at the residence of a patient with presumptive inhalational nnelioidosis and used whole-genome sequencing to link the environmental bacteria to B. pseudomallei recovered from the patient.
