The cis-2-Dodecenoic Acid (BDSF) Quorum Sensing System in Burkholderia cenocepacia. [PDF]
It has been demonstrated that quorum sensing (QS) is widely employed by bacterial cells to coordinately regulate various group behaviors. Diffusible signal factor (DSF)-type signals have emerged as a growing family of conserved cell-cell communication ...

Mutation of hmgA, encoding homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase, is responsible for pyomelanin production but does not impact the virulence of Burkholderia cenocepacia in a chronic granulomatous disease mouse lung infection. [PDF]
The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is a group of Gram-negative opportunistic bacteria often associated with fatal pulmonary infections in patients with impaired immunity, particularly those with cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic granulomatous disease (

Genetic similarity of Burkholderia cenocepacia from cystic fibrosis patients
Burkholderia cenocepacia may cause serious infections in patients with cystic fibrosis, and this microorganism can be highly transmissible. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis is widely used to study the dynamics of strain spread in cystic fibrosis patients.

The role of reactive oxygen species in antibiotic-induced cell death in Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria [PDF]
It was recently proposed that bactericidal antibiotics, besides through specific drug-target interactions, kill bacteria by a common mechanism involving the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Valdiazen Derivatives for Chemoproteomic Studies in Burkholderia cenocepacia H111
Valdiazen is a quorum‐sensing signal isolated from B. c. H111. Using diazeniumdiolate chemical probes, several valdiazen‐binding proteins are identified, many of which are involved in structural and metabolic processes. This study offers valuable chemical tools and advances our understanding of the interactome associated with diazeniumdiolate signaling

Phylogeny, Synteny, and Distribution of Type III Secretion Systems in Burkholderia cenocepacia: A Closer Look Into Host Span. [PDF]
T3SS is a dedicated machinery that mediates interactions between bacteria and eukaryotic cells, providing a functional interface in pathogenic or symbiotic associations. Phylogenetic analyses and T3SS‐gene synteny revealed nine gene clusters, with no needle protein gene (sctF). However, an orphan CDS encoding a putative SctF was found.
