Effect of β-lactamase inhibitors on in vitro activity of β-lactam antibiotics against Burkholderia cepacia complex species [PDF]
Background: Bacteria belonging to the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) are an important cause of chronic respiratory tract infections in cystic fibrosis patients. Intrinsic resistance to a wide range of antimicrobial agents, including a variety of beta-

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.

The role of small proteins in Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 biofilm formation, persistence and intracellular growth [PDF]
Burkholderia cenocepacia infections are difficult to treat due to resistance, biofilm formation and persistence. B. cenocepacia strain J2315 has a large multi-replicon genome (8.06 Mb) and the function of a large fraction of (conserved) hypothetical ...

An unusual case of primary melioidotic prostatic abscess complicated by perianal abscess
Burkholderia pseudomallei is recognized to cause severe and fatal infections. Most of the infections caused by this facultative intracellular gram-negative bacterium are pneumonia, soft tissue, genito-urinary and central nervous system infection.

First time identification of Pandoraea sputorum from a patient with cystic fibrosis in Argentina: a case report [PDF]
Background: Pandoraea species are considered emerging pathogens in the context of cystic fibrosis (CF) and are difficult to identify by conventional biochemical methods. These multidrug resistant bacteria remain poorly understood particularly in terms of

Microfluidics-based liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry multiple reaction monitoring approach for the relative quantification of Burkholderia cenocepacia secreted virulence factors [PDF]
Rationale: Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen that is commonly isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Quorum sensing has been suggested to play a role in the activity of type II and type VI secretion systems and the release ...

Synovial Tissue Infection withBurkholderia fungorum [PDF]
To the Editor: The genus Burkholderia, first proposed in 1992, has now expanded to consist of many species (1). Bacteria of this genus exhibit extensive ubiquity; they have been isolated from human, animal, and environmental sources (1,2). Although rare, Burkholderia fungorum has been implicated in several human infections (2–4).
