Summary: ABSTRACT - We report a case of Burkholderia mallei causing glanders in a 73-year-old patient from the Northeast Region of Brazil. The patient was hospitalized with severe pneumonia. PCR and genomic sequencing confirmed B. mallei in pleural drainage. Genotyping revealed a novel genotype, emphasizing the need for genetic surveillance in zoonotic infections.
