The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has declared that a deadly pathogen that reached the U.S. Gulf Coast is now endemic there, which means it is now a constant presence in the area although not spreading out of control.

The public health agency said the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei has a fatality rate of around 50 percent worldwide. Infections caused by the pathogen can cause the potentially fatal disease called melioidosis, also called Whitmore’s disease, if left untreated.

According to CDC epidemiologist Dr. Julia Petras, B. pseudomallei naturally resides in the soil and fresh water, primarily in subtropical and tropical regions of Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. However, it has been found in the Gulf states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. The public health agency emphasized that the bacterium may be present in the top layer of soil or muddy freshwater or brackish water in these areas.
