Solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GCMS) was used to show that dimethyl sulfide produced byBurkholderia pseudomalleiis responsible for its unusual truffle-like smell and distinguishes the species fromBurkholderia thailandensis. SPME-GCMS can be safely used to detect dimethyl sulfide produced by agar-grownB. pseudomallei.
