Burkholderia cepacia Sepsis Among Neonates

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2014
Burkholderia cepacia is a rare cause of sepsis in newborns and its transmission involves human contact with heavily contaminated medical devices and disinfectants. The authors aimed to determine epidemiology, clinical features, antibiotic sensitivity pattern, complications and outcome of blood culture proven B. cepacia infections in 12 neonates.

Lipopolysaccharide chemotypes of Burkholderia cepacia

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1999
Burkholderia cepacia is an important pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and much is now known of its epidemiology. In contrast, its virulence mechanisms are poorly understood. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of B. cepacia, a well-recognised virulence factor of other gram-negative bacteria, is known to be strongly endotoxic in vitro. The aim of

BURKHOLDERIA CEPACIA ENDOPHTHALMITIS

Retina, 2011
To report the clinical presentations, antibiotic sensitivities, and outcomes of Burkholderia cepacia endophthalmitis.Retrospective, consecutive, noncomparative, interventional case series. We reviewed case records of culture-proven B. cepacia endophthalmitis from the endophthalmitis registry between January 2003 and December 2008.

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.

Burkholderia cepacia: This Decision Is Overdue

PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, 2011
This is the third in a series of seven articles discussing the Recall Root Cause Research project conducted by the Division of Manufacturing and Product Quality, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. This paper reviews the regulatory and scientific impact of a common and recurring opportunistic pathogen, Burkholderia cepacia. B. cepacia is comprised
