Misidentification of Burkholderia pseudomallei and Other Burkholderia Species From Pediatric Infections in Mexico

Abstract Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia cepacia complex are poorly studied in Mexico. The genotypic analysis of 38 strains isolated from children with pneumonia were identified and showed that both Burkholderia groups were present in patients. From our results, it is plausible to suggest that new species are among the analyzed strains.
