In this study, a comprehensive 16S rDNA-based phylogenetic analysis further supports the existence of this newly described Burkholderia species for which the name Burkholderia thailandensis sp. nov. is proposed. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-48-1-317
