Burkholderia thailandensis is a nonfermenting motile, Gram-negative bacillus that occurs naturally in soil. It is closely related to Burkholderia pseudomallei, but unlike B. pseudomallei, it only rarely causes disease in humans or animals.[2][3][4][5] The lethal inoculum is approximately 1000 times higher than for B. pseudomallei.[6] It is usually distinguished from B. pseudomallei by its ability to assimilate arabinose.[7] Other differences between these species include lipopolysaccharide composition, colony morphology, and differences in metabolism.[8]
