Review: Lipopolysaccharide of Burkholderia cepacia complex [PDF]
BurKholderia 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.

The exopolysaccharide gene cluster Bcam1330-Bcam1341 is involved in Burkholderia cenocepacia biofilm formation, and its expression is regulated by c-di-GMP and Bcam1349 [PDF]
In Burkholderia cenocepacia, the second messenger cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) has previously been shown to positively regulate biofilm formation and the expression of cellulose and type-I fimbriae genes through binding to the ...

Burkholderia cepacia complex: Beyond pseudomonas and acinetobacter
Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is an important nosocomial pathogen in hospitalised patients, particularly those with prior broad-spectrum antibacterial therapy. BCC causes infections that include bacteraemia, urinary tract infection, septic arthritis, peritonitis and respiratory tract infection. Due to high intrinsic resistance and being one of the

Bayesian modeling of recombination events in bacterial populations [PDF]
Background: We consider the discovery of recombinant segments jointly with their origins within multilocus DNA sequences from bacteria representing heterogeneous populations of fairly closely related species.

Resistance of the Burkholderia cepacia complex to fosmidomycin and fosmidomycin derivatives [PDF]
The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a group of 17 closely related opportunistic pathogens that are able to infect the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients. BCC bacteria are intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics and are therefore difficult to eradicate.

Global transcriptional profiling of Burkholderia pseudomallei under salt stress reveals differential effects on the Bsa type III secretion system. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis where the highest reported incidence world wide is in the Northeast of Thailand, where saline soil and water are prevalent.

Isolation and characterization of bacteriophages of theBurkholderia cepaciacomplex [PDF]
The Burkholderia cepacia complex consists of nine phenotypically similar but genotypically distinct beta-proteobacteria that are metabolically diverse and highly antibiotic resistant. Because of this exceptional intrinsic antibiotic resistance, infections with B.
