Transcriptional responses of
Background Burkholderia cenocepacia is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen displaying high resistance to antimicrobial peptides and polymyxins. We identified mechanisms of resistance by analyzing transcriptional changes to polymyxin B treatment in ...

Response of Burkholderia cenocepacia H111 to Micro-Oxia [PDF]
B. cenocepacia is an opportunistic human pathogen that is particularly problematic for patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF). In the CF lung bacteria grow to high densities within the viscous mucus that is limited in oxygen. Pseudomonas aeruginosa,

Identification of Key Factors for Anoxic Survival of B. cenocepacia H111. [PDF]
Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen that can lead to severe infections in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic granulomatous disease. Being an obligate aerobe, B. cenocepacia is unable to grow in the absence of oxygen. In this study, we show that the CF isolate B.

Comparative Evolutionary Patterns of Burkholderia cenocepacia and B. multivorans During Chronic Co-infection of a Cystic Fibrosis Patient Lung [PDF]
During chronic respiratory infections of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, bacteria adaptively evolve in response to the nutritional and immune environment as well as influence other infecting microbes.

The mechanism of action of auranofin analogs in <i>B. cenocepacia</i> revealed by chemogenomic profiling. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Drug repurposing efforts led to the discovery of bactericidal activity in auranofin, a gold-containing drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Auranofin kills Gram-positive bacteria by inhibiting thioredoxin reductase, an enzyme that scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Characterization of the Antibiotic and Copper Resistance of Emergent Species of Onion-Pathogenic Burkholderia Through Genome Sequence Analysis and High-Throughput Sequencing of Differentially Enriched Random Transposon Mutants [PDF]
The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial pathogens resulting from the intensive usage of antibiotics and antibiotic compounds is acknowledged as a significant global concern that impacts both human and animal health.

The IclR-family regulator BapR controls biofilm formation in B. cenocepacia H111. [PDF]
In Burkholderia cenocepacia H111, the large surface protein BapA plays a crucial role in the formation of highly structured communities, known as biofilms. We have recently demonstrated that quorum sensing (QS) is necessary for the maximal expression of bapA.
