Burkholderia multivorans strain AU11358

Burkholderia multivorans strain AU11358 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and mobility, attributed to the presence of flagella. This strain is mesophilic, thriving within moderate temperature ranges, and has a unique genomic organization with one replicon and two membranes. This bacterium is notable for its biotic relationships, being free-living while also associated with various hosts, including Homo sapiens, Metazoa, and Viridiplantae. The association with Homo sapiens is particularly significant as B. multivorans is known to cause chronic respiratory infections, highlighting its potential impact on human health. Given its diverse ecological associations, B. multivorans strain AU11358 exemplifies the complex interactions between microorganisms and their environments. Its ability to inhabit both animal and plant hosts suggests a versatile ecological role, possibly contributing to nutrient cycling or other ecological processes. Understanding the specific interactions and effects of this strain in various hosts could provide insights into its pathogenicity and potential applications in biotechnology or environmental management.
