Burkholderia mallei and B. pseudomallei have a history of being on a list of potential biological warfare agents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classifies B. mallei as a category B critical biological agent. [7] As a result, research regarding B. mallei may only be done in biosafety level 3 facilities in the US and internationally.
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]
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 ...
Worms and other internal parasites can be treated easily but are some of the most common problems seen in dogs. Some of the internal parasites that cause diarrhea and loose stools in puppies include:
Burkholderia mallei. Glanders is caused by infection with the Burkholderia mallei, usually by ingestion of contaminated feed or water. B. mallei is able to infect humans, so it is classed as a zoonotic agent. Transmission occurs by direct contact with infected animal's body fluid and tissues and entry is through skin abrasions, nasal and oral ...
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).
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.

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]
