Whole genome sequencing (WGS) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that the strain of Burkholderia pseudomallei in bottles of aromatherapy room spray matches the bacterial strain that sickened all four patients. The outbreak strain was identified in a bottle of “Lavender & Chamomile” scented room spray found in the home of the Georgia resident who was infected and died from B. pseudomallei infection (melioidosis) in July 2021. That same outbreak strain was also identified in an unopened bottle of the same scented product recalled from a Walmart store in a different state.
