can be isolated from a variety of environmental sources. Hilmar Wisplinghoff, in Infectious Diseases (Fourth Edition), 2017 Epidemiologyīurkholderia spp. Different species of Burkholderia have multiple QS regulatory systems but there is not a common theme of cross regulation ( Suarez-Moreno et al., 2010). cenocepacia, CepR is required for the expression of bviI ( Malott and Sokol, 2007). The closely related species Burkholderia vietnamiensis contains the cepI/R and bviI/R genes. A negative feedback loop is formed by two mechanisms: repression of cepI expression by CciR ( Malott et al., 2005) and inactivation of CepR in the presence of high levels of C 6-HSL ( Weingart et al., 2005). CepR induces the transcription of the cciIR operon in response to C 8-HSL. Several genes have been found to be regulated by both regulators reciprocally ( O'Grady et al., 2009). CepR is an inducer of gene expression, while CciR is primarily repressing gene expression (including autorepression of the cciIR operon). CciI synthesizes primarily C 6HSL and minor amounts of C 8-HSL ( Malott et al., 2005). CepI synthesizes primarily C 8-HSL, and minor amounts of C 6-HSL ( Lewenza et al., 1999 Lewenza and Sokol, 2001). cenocepacia, the cepI/R ( Lewenza et al., 1999) and cciI/R ( Malott et al., 2005) genes are organized in a hierarchical fashion. Allan Downie, in Advances in Microbial Physiology, 2011 5.2 Burkholderia cenocepaciaīurkholderia species are opportunistic pathogens in people with cystic fibrosis and they use AHLs for the regulation of virulence factors. Overall pan-genome comprised of 78,782 orthologs, of which 587 genes were highly common among Burkholderia genomes, thus forming the core genome.Ī better understanding of the specificities and variability in Burkholderia individuals may give an insight of their ability to acclimatize to various environments, in addition to their distinctive interactions with host species during the course of pathogenesis.

Pan-genome analysis of Burkholderia has revealed several genomic characteristics of pathogenic species of Burkholderia compared to a wider variety of Burkholderia strains, comprising both animal/human pathogens together with individuals from environmental niches. Their genomes are comprised of two or three chromosomes. Burkholderia genomes are unusual due to their multichromosomal organization. The pan-genome of Burkholderia is open with the saturation between 86,000 and 88,000 genes. These representative species cause seedling blight, grain rot, and sheath rot, which may result in adverse losses in the production of rice. plantarii that inhabit diverse ecological niches. The genus Burkholderia consists of Burkholderia glumae, B. Jamil Ahmad, in Pan-genomics: Applications, Challenges, and Future Prospects, 2020 2.1.5 Burkholderia
