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.

Abstract
Two new species, Burkholderia multivorans andBurkholderia 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.
