Research uncovers complete genomes of soil isolates, suggesting genetic diversity of Burkholderia pseudomallei.
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a soil-dwelling bacterium causing melioidosis, a severe and often fatal disease (10-40% lethality). Here, we report 20 complete high-quality, closed genomes (7.0-7.5 Mbp, ~68.1% GC) from Vietnamese soil isolates, assembled from Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing data.
