Complete genome sequences for 59 burkholderia isolates, both pathogenic and near neighbor

Genome Announc. 2015 Apr 30;3(2):e00159-15. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00159-15.

Abstract

The genus Burkholderia encompasses both pathogenic (including Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Category B listed), and nonpathogenic Gram-negative bacilli. Here we present full genome sequences for a panel of 59 Burkholderia strains, selected to aid in detection assay development.
