The ''Burkholderia'' species are Gram-negative rods. They are obligate aerobes and are oxidase and catalase positive. The genus includes animal, human and plant pathogens.
Some species of ''Burkholderia'' bacteria are motile, including ''Burkholderia pseudomallei'', as it has polar flagellae.
The ''Burkholderia'' species were previously part of the ''[[Pseudomonas species - Overview|Pseudomonas]]'' genus.
