Lineage: Micromonospora aurantiaca; Micromonospora; Micromonosporaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Soil; Isolation: Soil; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 37C. Micromonospora species are commonly isolated from soil, freshwater and marine environments. Like other actinomycetes Micromonospora species produce antibiotics, in addition a number strains are able to degrade natural and synthetic rubber.
Subject: 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.
