Antimicrobial susceptibility and synergy studies of Burkholderia cepacia complex isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis.
Susceptibility (18 antimicrobial agents including high-dose tobramycin) and checkerboard synergy (23 combinations) studies were performed for 2,621 strains of Burkholderia cepacia complex isolated from 1,257 cystic fibrosis patients. Minocycline, meropenem, and ceftazidime were the most active, inhibiting 38%, 26%, and 23% of strains, respectively. Synergy was rarely noted (range, 1% to 15% of ...
متن کاملEnhancement of Burkholderia cepacia antimicrobial susceptibility by cationic compounds.
Infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) due to Burkholderia cepacia are challenging due to their resistance to antibiotics. We explored a new strategy for increasing the permeability of B. cepacia using cationic agents, including amino compounds, to reduce the MICs of standard antibiotics. Twenty-eight B. cepacia isolates from four CF centres in North America and four non-CF B. cepacia were examined...

متن کاملBiocide susceptibility of the Burkholderia cepacia complex.
OBJECTIVES The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) species are important opportunistic pathogens with intrinsic antibiotic resistance. They are also well known as contaminants of disinfectants, yet their biocide susceptibility has not been studied in detail. We investigated Bcc biocide susceptibility and correlated it to their taxonomy, antibiotic susceptibility and ability to form biofilms. M...
متن کاملEnvironmental Burkholderia cepacia Complex Isolates from Human Infections
Members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc), found in many environments, are associated with clinical infections. Examining diverse species and strains from different environments with multilocus sequence typing, we identified > 20% of 381 clinical isolates as indistinguishable from those in the environment. This finding links the natural environment with the emergence of many Bcc infecti...
