C6786, the clinical isolate of the ‘Oklahoma’ strain of Pseudomonas (now Burkholderia) pseudomallei, was originally isolated in 1973 from a wound infection resulting from a farming accident in Oklahoma, USA. Environmental isolates C7532 and C7533 from the Oklahoma accident site were found to match C6786. These three isolates and a clinical isolate originally identified as B. pseudomallei that was recovered from a person in Georgia, USA, involved in an automobile accident were characterized by biochemical, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, multilocus sequence typing and DNA–DNA hybridization analyses. Results indicated that these strains comprise a novel species. The name Burkholderia oklahomensis sp. nov. is proposed, with strain C6786T (=LMG 23618T=NCTC 13387T=CCUG 51349T) as the type strain.

Abbreviations: MLST, multilocus sequence typing; RBR, relative binding ratio; ST, sequence type

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains C6786T, C7532, C7533, E0147 and ATCC 23343T are DQ108388, DQ108389, DQ108390, DQ108391 and DQ108392, respectively.
