Metalloids: Semi as Metals yet Full of Antimicrobial Potential
Metalloids such as boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and tellurium (Te) bridge metals and non‐metals, displaying unique chemical versatility. Recent research highlights their diverse antimicrobial and therapeutic potentials, from natural products to synthetic organic and organometallic molcules, underscoring renewed ...

Characterization of integrons in Burkholderia cepacia clinical isolates
Burkholderia cepacia is an opportunistic pathogen able to colonize the airways of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients, frequently developing chronic infections. In 20% of cases these infections cause severe and poorly controlled pathological situations because

Study of class I integron in a Burkholderia cepacia complex strain isolated from blood colture
The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) consists of several species that cause lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis but are also capable to colonize immunocompromised patients. Once established, the infection is usually difficult to eradicate,

Mucoid morphotype variation of Burkholderia multivorans during chronic cystic fibrosis lung infection is correlated with changes in metabolism, motility, biofilm formation and virulence [PDF]
Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria are opportunistic pathogens infecting hosts such as cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Long-term Bcc infection of CF patients' airways has been associated with emergence of phenotypic variation. Here we studied two
