Template:Infobox - bakterie Burkholderia pseudomallei is atypical of our destination, occurring mainly in the tropics and subtropics of Southeast Asia, but also in northern Australia. This bacterium causes melioidosis or pseudomalleus in humans and animals. The course of the disease can be different, asymptomatic, chronic and acute. Untreated melioidosis is 95% fatal .

Taxonomy

The taxonomy of the genus Burkholderia is constantly renewed, the current classification is as follows:

• class Betaproteobacteria
• order Burkholderiales
• family Burkholderiaceae
• genus Burkholderia
