Burkholderia stabilis is a species of bacteria. [1] Between 2018 and August 2025, 51 cases of infection by Burkholderia stabilis in humans were identified in the United Kingdom. The cases were thought to result from the use of some types of non-sterile alcohol-free wipe and the public were advised not to use the products. [2]
