Zika Virus Outbreak, Bahia, Brazil

Database used would require optimization with addition of reference spectra for the organism and its close relatives (e.g., B. thailandensis). B. pseudomallei, although different from other Burkholderia spp. in its pathogenicity and epidemiology, is not easily discriminated from B. thailandensis or B. cepacia complex by using phenotypic tests (10).
