Burkholderiaceae

Family of bacteria


The Burkholderiaceae are a family of bacteria included in the order Burkholderiales.[5] It includes some pathogenic species, such as Burkholderia mallei (glanders) and Burkholderia pseudomallei (melioidosis).[5] This family was found to be enriched in scale-eating pupfish (Cyprinodon desquamator) guts, even after being fed a common laboratory diet, suggesting it may aid in scale-digestion (Heras and Martin 2022).
