A member asked:
What is the difference between pseudomonas and burkholderia bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little difference: Both these bacteria are normal in healthy people, but can cause serious bloodstream infections (sepsis) in special circumstances, especially hospitalized patients with prior antibiotic treatment, often with underlying problems like cancer, major surgery, and so on. There is no important difference in the risks, complications, or treatment between these two bacteria. Discuss with the doctor(s).
