Genus Burkholderia: A Double-Edged Sword with Widespread Implications for Human Health, Agriculture, and the Environment

2024-01-01

Abstract excerpt

This review explores the paradox of Burkholderia species, a bacterium capable of both beneficial and harmful actions. Genus Burkholderia is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium with remarkable genetic diversity. It can thrive in diverse environments and exchange genes with other bacteria through horizontal gene transfer. The ambivalence of Burkholderia lies in its potential to act as both a plant pathogen...
