Burkholderia ambifaria

Burkholderia ambifaria is a type of bacteria found mostly in soil and water. It can sometimes live harmlessly in plants and humans but is also known for producing natural substances that can fight against other bacteria and fungi, making it useful in medicine and agriculture. While generally not dangerous to healthy people, it can cause infections in individuals with weakened immune systems. Researchers study it for its potential to create new antibiotics and sustainable agricultural solutions because of its ability to promote plant growth and combat harmful pathogens.
