Burkholderia humptydooensis is a gram-negative bacterium isolated from bore water in Australia's Northern Territory during routine screening for B. pseudomallei . Although it exhibits similarities in form and biochemical properties to B. pseudomallei and B. thailandensis , molecular analyses confirmed it as a distinct species within the B. pseudomallei complex. ^[2]

The bacteria is named for Humpty Doo, Australia.^{[ citation needed ]}
