@asm.org #burkholderia

We wanted to raise awareness that CMV are common in #Burkholderia —yet still understudied. Not accounting for this diversity can impact the long-term effectiveness of new therapeutics.

Please enjoy and celebrate the amazing work done so far by #Burkholderia researchers exploring colony morphology!

So grateful to have worked with Dr Kirsty Agnoli on this review on colony morphotype variation in #Burkholderia!

Hi everyone! This is official, with the participation of @asm-nswact.bsky.social , @aimi-uts.bsky.social will host Prof Leo Eberl from the Univ of Zurich to talk about the most fascinating bacteria: #Burkholderia
Please register for this exciting event!!!!!

Hi #Burkholderia folks! Got cool B. pseudomallei phenotypes on blood & milk agar during my visit to @Dr Patrick Harris lab (Thanks to @isme-microbes.bsky.social). Any ideas on what’s being secreted? #microbiology
