A) Gram stain of pus from the patient’s submental collection, showing the characteristic safety-pin pattern (arrows) of bipolar staining. B) Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigens from the patient and Burkholderia pseudomallei reference strain (204), showing different O-repeating units (bracket). A control isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPS (PA01) is shown for comparison.
