are mainly found on plants and their roots.

pharmaceutical company InfectoPharm

, the pathogens of the Burkholderia cepacia complex, to which the bacteria found belong, are “dangerous for people whose body defenses only function to a limited extent” and can possibly lead to

“a significantly shorter survival time”.
