Emerg Infect Dis. 2005 Jul;11(7):1115-7. doi: 10.3201/eid1107.041290.

Abstract

We report the first case of community-acquired bacteremia with Burkholderia fungorum, a newly described member of the Burkholderia cepacia complex. A 9-year-old girl sought treatment with septic arthritis in her right knee and ankle with soft tissue involvement. Commercial identification systems did not identify the causative microorganism.
