Overview

  • Burkholderia pseudomallei 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 69.5%. Burkholderia pseudomallei is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Yabuuchi1992; Garrity2005aBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from soil and pathogen (malioidosis). The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 3, i.e., high risk of individual infection, and some risk of spread (notes: pathogen of humans and vertebrates). It is an opportunistic pathogen. It's gut microbiome symbiotic status is unknown.
