Two new species, Burkholderia multivorans and
Burkholderia vietnamiensis, and three genomovars
(genomovars I, III, and IV) currently constitute the Burkholderia
cepacia complex. A panel of 30 well-characterized strains
representative of each genomovar and new species was assembled to
assist with identification, epidemiological analysis, and virulence
studies on this important group of opportunistic pathogens.
