Taxonomy and pathogenesis of the Burkholderia cepacia complex

Chronic Respiratory Disease, 2005
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are susceptible to chronic respiratory infection with a number of bacterial pathogens. The Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria are problematic CF pathogens because (i) they are very resistant to antibiotics, making respiratory infection difficult to treat and eradicate; (ii) infection with these bacteria is ...

Presence of the Hmq System and Production of 4-Hydroxy-3-Methyl-2-Alkylquinolines Are Heterogeneously Distributed between Burkholderia cepacia Complex Species and More Prevalent among Environmental than Clinical Isolates

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) comprises several species of closely related, versatile bacteria. Some Bcc strains produce 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-alkylquinolines (HMAQs), analogous to the 4-hydroxy-2-alkylquinolines of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
