Burkholderia pseudomallei is a pathogen expanding in geographic range. We performed a retrospective study analyzing the clinical, microbiologic features of culture-proven melioidosis, and predictors of mortality based on data from a Singapore tertiary hospital between 2006- 2016. We found ICU admission, bacteremia, and mechanical ventilation to be associated with mortality.
