Achromobacter xylosoxidans QC Overview

Achromobacter xylosoxidans is a non-fermenting Gram-negative rod within the order Burkholderiales, commonly found in water, soil, and moist clinical environments. It is increasingly recognised as an opportunistic pathogen, particularly in people with chronic lung conditions such as cystic fibrosis, and can cause pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and device-associated outbreaks. Genomically, A. xylosoxidans displays high diversity with an open pangenome, extensive accessory content, and notable environmental adaptation traits.
