case_images: (
  A) Read coverage of LPD1900722 mapped to capsular polysaccharide gene cluster of
  B. thailandensis E264 (top),
  B. pseudomallei K96243 (middle) and
  B. thailandensis E555 (bottom). (
  B) Phylogenetic tree analysis of full-length of 16s ribosomal
  rna of
  Burkholderia spp. and clinical isolate (LPD1900722) using a maximum-likelihood with 100 bootstraps. Number on the branches indicate branch length (black) and bootstrap values (red).

case_images: While the capsule gene cluster was absent in B. thailandensis E264, it was present in LPD1900722, similar to the configuration found in B. pseudomallei K96243 and B. thailandensis E555 ( Figure 1A). A maximum-likelihood phylogeny tree was constructed based on complete 16S ribosomal RNA (BTH_RS17800 of B. thailandensis E264) which showed the clinical isolate grouping within the B. thailandensis clade ( Figure 1B).
