| Abstract | A 33-years-old man was presented with the left femoral region in a game of the rugby match in Malaysia. After returning Japan, he consulted a local clinic but was referred to the dermatology department of our hospital for surgical treatment due to the possibility of hiatus formation and persistence of a rash, as well as the suspicion of infection. Since the patient was scheduled to return to Malaysia soon, surgical treatment was postponed. As the Gram-negative bacilli isolated from the sample of an abscess in the left femoral region were difficult to identify by automated analyses or on the basis of biochemical test of the colony. 16S rDNA sequencing analyses finally revealed as B. mallei or B. pseudomallei. The strain was identified as B. pseudomallei because of its growth in MacConkey ager, Mobility and growth difference at 42°C. Moreover, by multilocus sequence typing (MLST), this strain was found to be a previously unreported novel ST type strain (ST1057). |
