Comparative Genomic Analysis of the Foodborne Pathogen Burkholderia gladioli pv. cocovenenans Harboring a Bongkrekic Acid Biosynthesis Gene Cluster
The environmental bacterium Burkholderia gladioli pv. cocovenenans (B. cocovenenans) has been linked to fatal food poisoning cases in Asia and Africa. Bongkrekic acid (BA), a mitochondrial toxin produced by B. cocovenenans, is thought to be responsible for these outbreaks. While there are over 80 sp...
