The Burkholderia pseudomallei hmqA-G Locus Mediates Competitive Fitness against Environmental Gram-Positive Bacteria
Abstract
Burkholderia pseudomallei naturally resides in water, soil, and the rhizosphere and its success as an opportunistic pathogen is dependent on the ability to persist in these harsh habitats long enough to come into contact with a susceptible host. In addition to adapting to limiting nutrients and diverse chemical and physical challenges, B. pseudomallei also has to interact with a variety of microbial competitors.
