Background The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) comprises at least nine closely related species which can be correctly identified only by polyphasic taxonomic approaches. Members of the complex are among the most metabolically versatile microorganisms known as they grow on more than 200 organic compounds, fix N2 and carry multiple antibiotic resistances. They are involved in important processes such as biodegradation of pollutants, biocontrol of root diseases but some also cause disease in plants, animals and humans. Bcc strains are isolated from very different habitats, including soil, rhizospheres, streams and infected plants, animals and human tissues, especially lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Bcc strains have large and plastic genomes comprised of multiple (2 to 4) replicons, which is thought to give them their ecological versatility. Burkholderia sp. (strain 383) was isolated in 1958 from a forest soil in Trinidad and was one the original strains in the famous Stanier (1966) study of pseudomonads where it was described as Pseudomonas multivorans. Information as of 2004 suggests that this strain is not a member of any of the nine Bcc species, and is probably a new species. However, among the described species, it appears most closely related to B. cepacia (adapted from http://genome.jgi-psf.org/bur94/bur94.home.html). (HAMAP: BURS3)
