Beyond Cystic Fibrosis: Recognising Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome in the Respiratory Clinic. [PDF]
Our case shows how SDS can mimic CF (borderline sweat electrolytes, recurrent lower respiratory infections, pancreatic insufficiency) but diverge in trajectory and management. Over 42 years, our patient demonstrated: (1) recurrent infections, (2) persistent pancreatic insufficiency and (3) intermittent neutropenia.

Community Acquired Burkholderia cepacia Bacteraemia Presenting as MODS in an Immunocompetent Individual: An Unusual Case [PDF]
Burkholderia cepacia has been recognized as a group of highly virulent organisms known as Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc). Bcc are ubiquitous in nature and most commonly found in moist environment, on plant roots and soil.

Phylogeny, Synteny, and Distribution of Type III Secretion Systems in Burkholderia cenocepacia: A Closer Look Into Host Span. [PDF]
T3SS is a dedicated machinery that mediates interactions between bacteria and eukaryotic cells, providing a functional interface in pathogenic or symbiotic associations. Phylogenetic analyses and T3SS‐gene synteny revealed nine gene clusters, with no needle protein gene (sctF). However, an orphan CDS encoding a putative SctF was found.

Environmental Burkholderia cenocepacia Strain Enhances Fitness by Serial Passages during Long-Term Chronic Airways Infection in Mice [PDF]
Burkholderia cenocepacia is an important opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, and has also been isolated from natural environments. In previous work, we explored the virulence and pathogenic potential of environmental B.
