<i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i> hybrid assemblies of 20 environmental isolates from Vietnam

<i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i> is a soil-dwelling bacterium causing melioidosis, a severe and often fatal disease (10-40% lethality). Here, we report 20 complete high-quality, closed genomes (7.0-7.5 Mbp, ~68.1% GC) from Vietnamese soil isolates, assembled from Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing data.
