Overview

  • Burkholderia multivorans, (aka Burkholderia sp. VTT E-072683), 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 68-69%. Burkholderia multivorans is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Garrity2005aBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from cystic fibrosis patients, a brain abscess and a flower vase. 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. It's gut microbiome symbiotic status is unknown.
