DESCRIPTION:The presentation will outline the problematic natu
 re of Burkholderia bacteria as cystic fibrosis lun
 g infection pathogens\, plant disease causing agen
 ts\, and industrial contaminants of pharmaceutical
 s and home/personal care products. This will be co
 ntrasted with the beneficial properties of Burkhol
 deria bacteria as antibiotic producers\, biopestic
 ides and plant-beneficial bacteria. Using genetics
  and genomics to untangle the negatives versus the
  positives of their biology will be highlighted\, 
 and ultimately lead to a discussion on whether gen
 etic modification can be used to create safe Burkh
 olderia biopesticides in future.
