Burkholderia ambifaria

Rank: Species

Lineage: Bacteria;Proteobacteria;Betaproteobacteria;Burkholderiales;Burkholderiaceae;Burkholderia;Burkholderia ambifaria

Description: This species include strains isolated from cystic fibrosis patients as well as strains with potential use in biocontrol. For this reason it is important to know more about their potential pathogenic mechanisms before using them as biocontrol agents. They can be distinguished from other members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex by AFLP fingerprinting, whole-cell fatty acid analysis, and ornithine and lysine decarboxylase activity.

Description:
Burkholderia is a genus of Proteobacteria whose pathogenic members include the Burkholderia cepacia complex which attacks humans and Burkholderia mallei, responsible for glanders, a disease that occurs mostly in horses and related animals; Burkholderia pseudomallei, causative agent of melioidosis; and Burkholderia cepacia, an important pathogen of pulmonary infections in people with cystic fibrosis (CF).
