Description
We report a bloodstream Burkholderia arboris isolate from a 75-year-old man without cystic fibrosis. The organism was recovered from both aerobic bottles of two separately collected blood-culture sets and was initially assigned to the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Whole-genome sequencing yielded three circular chromosomes and one circular plasmid. DFAST_QC identified B.
