Notes:
- ⏲ According to Coenye et al. (2000), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Burkholderia gladioli (Severini 1913) Yabuuchi et al. 1993. Publication: Coenye T, Gillis M, Vandamme P. Pseudomonas antimicrobica Attafuah and Bradbury 1990 is a junior synonym of Burkholderia gladioli (Severini 1913) Yabuuchi et al. 1993. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:2135-2139. 🇧🇪
