Advances in Burkholderia cepacia complex
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2002Burkholderia 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.

Update on the Burkholderia cepacia complex
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2005The Burkholderia cepacia complex is comprised of a group of related bacterial species that are capable of causing life-threatening respiratory tract infection in persons with cystic fibrosis. This article reviews advances in our understanding of Burkholderia cepacia complex infection in cystic fibrosis, focusing on the taxonomy, clinical microbiology ...

Isolation of Burkholderia cepacia Complex Genomovars from Waters
Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2003The aim of this study was to develop a selective enrichment broth as an aid for the isolation of Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria from water. To allow growth of all nine genomovars, mixtures of two carbon sources had to be used, i.e. L-arabinose/D-cellobiose or L-arabinose/L-threonine.

Molecular Biology of the Burkholderia cepacia Complex
2004Publisher 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.

Lipopolysaccharide of Burkholderia cepacia complex.
Journal of endotoxin research, 2004Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is a group of phenotypically similar, genetically distinct bacteria that are beneficial to the environment but can also cause severe human infections. Bcc are being exploited for use as bioremediation agents and as a way to combat agricultural plant diseases.

An epidemic Burkholderia cepacia complex strain identified in soil
The Lancet, 2002Life threatening infection with species of the Burkholderia cepacia complex frequently occurs as a result of cross infection among individuals with cystic fibrosis. Stringent infection control measures have decreased but not eliminated such infection in this vulnerable population, implying that non-patient reservoirs contribute to ongoing acquisition ...

Burkholderia cepacia complex species: health hazards and biotechnological potential
Trends in Microbiology, 2006The Burkholderia cepacia complex is a group of nine closely related bacterial species that have useful properties in the natural environment as plant pest antagonists, plant growth promoters and degradative agents of toxic substances. Because these species are human opportunistic pathogens, especially in cystic fibrosis patients, biotechnological ...

Burkholderia Cepacia Complex (BCC) in Cystic Fibrosis
2018The precautions described by Emma have only been put into place after it became evident that certain strains of the Burkholderia cepaciacomplex (Bcc) not only cause life-threatening lung damage in Cystic Fibrosis (CF), but may be transmissible between patients.

Interbacterial Competition in the Burkholderia cepacia Complex
2020Bacteria often live in multicellular communities composed of multiple species. Bacteria interact with one another during intimate cell-cell contact within such environments, and these interactions influence the ecology and evolution of multicellular communities.
