  abstract = {{T}he environmental distribution of {B}urkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, remains poorly understood. {B}. pseudomallei is known to have the ability to occupy a variety of environmental niches, particularly in soil. {T}his paper provides novel information about a putative association of soil biogeochemical heterogeneity and the vertical distribution of {B}. pseudomallei. {W}e investigated (1) the distribution of {B}. pseudomallei along a 300-cm deep soil profile together with the variation of a range of soil physico-chemical properties; (2) whether correlations between the distribution of {B}. pseudomallei and soil physico-chemical properties exist and (3) when they exist, what such correlations indicate with regards to the environmental conditions conducive to the occurrence of {B}. pseudomallei in soils. {U}nexpectedly, the highest concentrations of {B}. pseudomallei were observed between 100 and 200 cm below the soil surface. {O}ur results indicate that unravelling the environmental conditions favorable to {B}. pseudomallei entails considering many aspects of the actual complexity of soil. {I}mportant recommendations regarding environmental sampling for {B}. pseudomallei can be drawn from this work, in particular that collecting samples down to the water table is of foremost importance, as groundwater persistence appears to be a controlling factor of the occurrence of {B}. pseudomallei in soil.},
