Lung transplantation and the Burkholderia cepacia complex
The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2003Burkholderia cepacia, formerly Pseudomonas cepacia, has long been recognized as a plant pathogen (Latin cepia onion). It has, however, emerged as a significant human pathogen, with the first case report of infection in the UK in 1986. Infection with B cepacia is distinguished from infection with other major cystic fibrosis pathogens, such as ...

In vitro activity of ceragenins against Burkholderia cepacia complex
The Journal of Antibiotics, 2022Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) species are aerobic, Gram-negative and non-fermantative bacilli. Bcc can cause clinical symptoms in patients with cystic fibrosis, ranging from asymptomatic carriage to fatal pneumonia. A pressing need exists for new antimicrobial agents that target Bcc.

Quorum sensing in the Burkholderia cepacia complex
Research in Microbiology, 2004Quorum sensing is a cell-density-dependent regulatory mechanism which, in Gram-negative bacteria, usually involves the production and detection of N-acyl homoserine lactones (HSLs). In the last four years HSL-dependent quorum sensing has been identified in members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex, and this mini-review summarizes initial findings and

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 ...

Burkholderia cepacia Complex and Burkholderia gladioli
2010The PCR assays described herein can be used to reliably determine if an organism belongs to the Burkholderia cepacia complex or Burkholderia gladioli. Further characterisation of the mostly commonly encountered B. cepacia complex species can be achieved using a range of species-specific PCR assays.

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.

Burkholderia orbicola sp. nov., a novel species within the Burkholderia cepacia complex
Archives of Microbiology, 2022Genome analysis of strains placed in the NCBI genome database as Burkholderia cenocepacia defined nine genomic species groups. The largest group (259 strains) corresponds to B. cenocepacia and the second largest group (58 strains) was identified as "Burkholderia servocepacia", a Burkholderia species classification which has not been validly published ...

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.

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 ...
