  Burkholderia species are known as medically necessary pathogens not only in a clinical setting but environmental sectors. Cost-effective ways of molecular genotyping among Burkholderia species in Myanmar were found to be limited and low awareness. In this study, 21 clinical and 29 soil isolates were collected and performed to discriminate Burkholderia species. Two genotyping methods were performed, recA, 16S rRNA amplification and sequencing. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using sequences of recA and 16S rRNA genes. Twenty-nine soil isolates resulted as 5 Burkholderia pseudomallei, 5 Burkholderia cepacia, 13 Burkholderia thailandensis, 4 Burkholderia mutivorans and 2 Burkholderia cenocepacia. Sixteen clinical and 5 soil isolates of Burkholderia pseudomallei were ta.. View more»
