Key Points

The aim is to report high-quality genomic assemblies of Burkholderia pseudomallei from environmental isolates.
Isolated 20 environmental samples from soil in Vietnam.
Used Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing for genome assembly.
Constructed complete high-quality closed genomes.
Generated 20 high-quality genomes of Burkholderia pseudomallei.
Genome sizes ranged from 7.0 to 7.5 Mbp.
GC content averaged approximately 68.1%.

Abstract

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.
