Species code:	BURPS
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Betaproteobacteria; Burkholderiales; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderia; pseudomallei group (TaxID: 28450) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bukholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, a disease that is endemic in Southeast Asia. Besides humans, melioidosis can affect animals such as sheep, goats, horses, swine, dogs and cats. Transmission occurs by contact with contaminated soil and water, through skin abrasions or inhalation of dust. In northeastern Thailand, B.pseudomallei accounts for 20% of the septicaemias.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of BURPS entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 5717 (456 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 5261 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
