Burkholderia pseudomallei [a] (also known as Pseudomonas pseudomallei) is a Gram-negative, bipolar, aerobic, motile rod-shaped bacterium. [2] It is a soil-dwelling bacterium endemic in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, particularly in Thailand and northern Australia. [ 3 ]
Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by a gram-negative bacterium called Burkholderia pseudomallei. [1] Most people exposed to B. pseudomallei experience no symptoms; however, those who do experience symptoms have signs and symptoms that range from mild, such as fever and skin changes, to severe with pneumonia, abscesses, and septic shock that could cause death.

Burkholderia is a genus of Pseudomonadota whose pathogenic members include the Burkholderia cepacia complex, which attacks humans and Burkholderia mallei, responsible for glanders, a disease that occurs mostly in horses and related animals; Burkholderia pseudomallei, causative agent of melioidosis; and Burkholderia cepacia, an important pathogen of pulmonary infections in people with cystic ...
Burkholderia mallei is a Gram-negative, bipolar [clarification needed], aerobic bacterium, a human and animal pathogen of genus Burkholderia causing glanders; the Latin name of this disease (malleus) gave its name to the species causing it. It is closely related to B. pseudomallei, and by multilocus sequence typing it is a subspecies of B ...

There are pathogens, such as Burkholderia mallei, [43] and Burkholderia pseudomallei [44] which have been shown to exhibit genome-wide rearrangements due to insertion sequences and repetitive DNA segments. [19] At this time, no studies demonstrate genome-wide rearrangement events directly giving rise to pathogenic behavior in a microbe.
It includes some pathogenic species, such as Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei (melioidosis). [5] This family was found to be enriched in scale-eating pupfish (Cyprinodon desquamator) guts, even after being fed a common laboratory diet, suggesting it may aid in scale-digestion (Heras and Martin 2022).
The Burkholderiales are an order of Betaproteobacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota. [3] Like all Pseudomonadota, they are Gram-negative.They include several pathogenic bacteria, including species of Burkholderia, Bordetella, and Ralstonia. [3]
