Culture was performed according to the consensus guidelines for environmental sampling of B. pseudomallei developed by DEBWorP [11], in which soil specimens were enriched in the enrichment broth for 2 days and the upper layer of enrichment broth on day 2 was streaked on agar plates and observed daily. For the LFI and qPCR assay, soil specimens were enriched in the broth for 7 days and the broth on day 7 was used for the tests.
