The multifarious, multireplicon Burkholderia cepacia complex

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2005
The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is a collection of genetically distinct but phenotypically similar bacteria that are divided into at least nine species. Bcc bacteria are found throughout the environment, where they can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on plants and some members can also degrade natural and man-made pollutants.

Advances in Burkholderia cepacia complex

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2002
Burkholderia cepacia is an important opportunistic pathogen in certain compromised hosts, particularly those with either cystic fibrosis (CF) or chronic granulomatous disease. The "family" of bacteria known as B. cepacia is highly heterogeneous and is composed of at least nine discrete species or genomovars, constituting the B.

Burkholderia cepacia infection and lung transplantation

Seminars in Respiratory Infections, 2002
Burkholderia cepacia has emerged as an important pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) undergoing lung transplantation. Taxonomic analyses have divided B. cepacia into 7 closely related species called genomovars. The prevalence of B. cepacia infection ranges from 2% to 13% in CF patients with genomovar III being most prevalent.

Burkholderia cepaciain Cystic Fibrosis

New England Journal of Medicine, 1995
Variable clinical course has been reported with the acquisition of Burkholderia cepacia in patients who have cystic fibrosis (CF). We hypothesized that the perceived worsening with B. cepacia may reflect the underlying severity of pulmonary disease at the time of acquisition. To test this hypothesis, we matched CF patients colonized with B.

Molecular Biology of the Burkholderia cepacia Complex

2004
Publisher Summary The Burkholderia cepacia complex is a group of closely related bacteria found in diverse natural environments. They have been isolated from soil, water, plant, rhizosphere, and in animals—including humans. Molecular biology techniques have been used for accurate determination of species.
