Abstract

This comprehensive review gives a systematic overview of the genus Burkholderia by its taxonomy, drug resistance, various aspects of pathogenicity in humans and animals as well as diagnostics methods and phylogeny. Initially, Pseudomonas cepacia was discovered to include Burkholderia but now this genus contains a lot of species and each new one has different roles, such as strict ecological niche ecology, plant symbiosis, and pathogenicity towards plants, animals and humans. Progress of molecular biology area has dramatically improved the discrimination and diagnosis of the Burkholderia that established its genetic diversity and quite intricate responses to the host(s). The description here explores the disease transmission ways of Burkillerdiaceraillea species, that have serious clinical consequences meaning for the humans and animals including B. cepacia complexa, B. pseudomallei, and B. mallei species. There will be the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in the trans-Burkholderia reservoirs which require extensive efforts over time through the research that will provide an ideal therapeutic approach. In addition to this analysis, the chapter discusses purely evolutionary relationships inside Burkholderia generes. With this in mind, we can detect accurate species identification of the genus to investigate the epidemiology, develop targeted treatments and prevent outbreaks.
