Query: NC_007650:722961 Burkholderia thailandensis E264 chromosome II, complete sequence

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

General Information: This organism was originally isolated from a rice field sample in Thailand. Burkholderia thailandensis is a common soil saprophyte (lives on decaying organic matter in the soil). This bacterium is very similar to the human and animal pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei but appears to be avirulent. Distinguishing the two organisms is very difficult and may depend on using monoclonal antibodies to detect differences in exopolysaccharide production.

Lineage: Enterobacter aerogenes; Enterobacter; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This organism is part of the normal human gastrointestinal flora which is able to cause opportunistic infections such as bacteremia, endocarditis and infections of the urinary and lower respiratory tract.
