(Submitter supplied) Introduction. Burkholderia thailandensis is a clinically rare opportunistic pathogen in the genus Burkholderia, and the genomic features and virulence characteristics of B. thailandensis strains that cause human infection remain unclear.Gap Statement. B. thailandensis strains with different virulence induce different host innate immune responses in vitro.Aim. This work aimed to understand the sequence diversity, phylogenetic relationship, and virulence of B. more...

(Submitter supplied) An important, but rarely performed, test of Koch’s molecular postulates involves evaluating the capacity of candidate virulence genes to confer pathogenicity in otherwise non-virulent species. Unbiased genomic surveys of avirulent natural isolates might reveal rare variants possessing specific virulence features, which might prove useful in testing their functional sufficiency. Using a custom pan-genome array, we analyzed a panel of avirulent Burkholderia thailandensis (Bt) isolates related to Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp), the causative agent of the often fatal human and animal disease melioidosis. more...

(Submitter supplied) Burkholderia thailandensis is a soil-dwelling bacterium that shares many metabolic pathways with the ecologically similar, but evolutionarily distant, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among the diverse nutrients it can utilize is choline, which can be converted into the osmoprotectant glycine betaine and further catabolized as a source of carbon and nitrogen, similar to P. aeruginosa. Orthologs of genes in the choline catabolic pathway in these two bacteria showed distinct differences in gene arrangement as well as an additional orthologous transcriptional regulator in B. more...

(Submitter supplied) Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria comprise opportunistic pathogens causing chronic respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. These microorganisms produce exopolysaccharides which are considered virulence determinants. Here, we report the isolation of an evolved nonmucoid variant (17616nmv) after the ancestor, Burkholderia multivorans ATCC 17616, was subjected to prolonged stationary phase. more...
