Title: Whole-genome sequencing confirms that Burkholderia pseudomallei multilocus sequence types common to both cambodia and Australia are due to homoplasy

Description: Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates with shared multilocus sequence types (STs) have not been isolated from different continents. We identified two STs shared between Australia and Cambodia. Whole-genome analysis revealed substantial diversity within STs, correctly identified the Asian or Australian origin, and confirmed that these shared STs were due to homoplasy.
