Multilocus sequence typing scheme that provides both species and strain differentiation for the Burkholderia cepacia complex [PDF]
A single multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme was developed for precise characterization of the opportunistic pathogens of Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC), a group composed of at least nine closely related species.

Taxonomy and Identification of the Burkholderia cepacia Complex [PDF]
At the beginning of this review it is essential to clarify the terminology that will be used to refer to the members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex and their relatives. The name B. cepacia will relate only to B. cepacia genomovar I. Strains resembling B.

Diversity of the parB and repA genes of the Burkholderia cepacia complex and their utility for rapid identification of Burkholderia cenocepacia [PDF]
Background: Burkholderia cenocepacia is the most prominent species of the B. cepacia complex (Bcc), a group of nine closely related and difficult to identify bacteria that cause serious infections in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Is Hydrogen Cyanide a Marker of Burkholderia cepacia Complex? [PDF]
ABSTRACT Biofilm cultures of Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) infection have been found to generate the nonvolatile cyanide ion. We investigated if gaseous hydrogen cyanide (HCN) was a marker of BCC infection.

Exploring the metabolic network of the epidemic pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 via genome-scale reconstruction [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Burkholderia cenocepacia is a threatening nosocomial epidemic pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) or a compromised immune system. Its high level of antibiotic resistance is an increasing concern in treatments against its infection.

Influence of Neutrophil Defects on Burkholderia cepacia Complex Pathogenesis [PDF]
The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is a group of Gram-negative bacteria that are ubiquitous in the environment and have emerged as opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients. The primary patient populations infected with Bcc include individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), as well as those with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).
