Cytotoxicity associated with trichloroethylene oxidation in Burkholderia cepacia G4.
The effects of trichloroethylene (TCE) oxidation on toluene 2-monooxygenase activity, general respiratory activity, and cell culturability were examined in the toluene-oxidizing bacterium Burkholderia cepacia G4. Nonspecific damage outpaced inactivation of toluene 2-monooxygenase in B. cepacia G4 cells. Cells that had degraded approximately 0.5 micromol of TCE (mg of cells(-1)) lost 95% of thei...
متن کاملCommercial use of Burkholderia cepacia.
Letters toxicity, no antidiphtheria serum was administered. The patient became well and was discharged on day 4. In the first case, a throat culture could not be done because the patient had already received local antiseptic paint. However, the diagnosis was clinically consistent with classic diphtheria with features of toxicity. In the second case, diphtheria was suspected only after bacteriol...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide chemotypes of Burkholderia cepacia.
Burkholderia cepacia is an important pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and much is now known of its epidemiology. In contrast, its virulence mechanisms are poorly understood. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of B. cepacia, a well-recognised virulence factor of other gram-negative bacteria, is known to be strongly endotoxic in vitro. The aim of this study was to observe if there were an...
متن کاملBurkholderia cepacia genomovar III Is a common plant-associated bacterium.
A polyphasic taxonomic study involving DNA-DNA hybridization, whole-cell protein electrophoresis, and 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis revealed that a group of Burkholderia cepacia-like organisms isolated from the rhizosphere or tissues of maize, wheat, and lupine belong to B. cepacia genomovar III, a genomic species associated with "cepacia syndrome" in cystic fibrosis patients. The present...
متن کاملVirulence factors of Burkholderia cepacia.
Originally named following its identification as a cause of soft rot in onions, Burkholderia cepacia has also been known as Pseudomonas multivorans and Pseudomonas kingae [1,2], and until most recently, as Pseudomonas cepacia [3]. A proposal for the transfer of 7 species of the genus Pseudomonas RNA Homology group II to a new genus Burkholderia with the type-species Burkholderia cepacia has bee...
