Genomic Sequencing of Burkholderia pseudomallei from a Hong Kong Zoo Melioidosis Outbreak
This project provides genome sequences of Burkholderia pseudomallei isolated from a lethal melioidosis outbreak in primates at the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens in October 2024. The data were generated to investigate the molecular epidemiology of the outbreak, which was attributed to a clonal ST-46 strain, highlighting risks in zoological settings
