Overview

  • Burkholderia arboris is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 67%. Burkholderia arboris is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Vanlaere2008)



  • This organism has been recovered from clinical sources (cystic fibrosis patients) and the environment. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
