Activation Of The Pyrin Inflammasome By Intracellular Burkholderia Cenocepacia [PDF]
A35. RECENT ADVANCES IN PHAGOCYTE BIOLOGY, 2012 Abstract Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen that causes chronic infection and induces progressive respiratory inflammation in cystic fibrosis patients. Recognition of bacteria by mononuclear cells generally results in the activation of caspase-1 and processing of IL-1β, a major proinflammatory cytokine.

Response of Burkholderia cenocepacia H111 to Micro-Oxia
PLoS ONE, 2013 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, the dominant pathogen in CF patients, is known to grow and survive under oxygen-limited to ...
