Query: NC_006348:2738425 Burkholderia mallei ATCC 23344 chromosome 1, complete sequence

Lineage: Burkholderia mallei; Burkholderia; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This type strain came from a Chinese patient in Burma who had glanders in 1944. Causes glanders in horses. This organism is rarely associated with human infection, and is more commonly seen in domesticated animals such as horses, donkeys, and mules where it causes glanders, a disease first described by Aristotle. The pathogen is host-adapted and is not found in the environment outside of its host. Rapid-onset pneumonia, bacteremia (spread of the organism through the blood), pustules, and death are common outcomes during infection. No vaccine exists for this potentially dangerous organism.

Subject: NC_008508:481000 Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo-bovis L550 chromosome 1,

Lineage: Leptospira borgpetersenii; Leptospira; Leptospiraceae; Spirochaetales; Spirochaetes; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was isolated from a human clinical sample. Bacterial pathogens of cattle that cause zoonotic infections in humans. This organism is a bacterial pathogen of cattle. This organism colonizes in the kidney and reproductive tracts of infected animals. There is also a risk of zoonotic infections in humans, especially those who work with cattle.
