Identification of an immunodominant drug efflux pump in Burkholderia cepacia.
Burkholderia cepacia, a major pathogen amongst individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), is intrinsically resistant to most clinically available antibiotics. We report the identification of an immunodominant antigen in CF patients infected with B. cepacia, a multidrug-resistance efflux pump called BcrA. The bcrA gene encodes a 46 kDa peptide with 14 potential alpha-helices that belongs to the majo...
متن کاملCervical osteomyelitis caused by Burkholderia cepacia after rhinoplasty.
Burkholderia cepacia, previously known as Pseudomonas cepacia, has been implicated in vertebral osteomyelitis in patients who are intravenous drug abusers. We report a case of acute vertebral osteomyelitis in a non-intravenous drug user, following an elective rhinoplasty.
متن کاملOesophageal pyomyositis in an intravenous drug user.
An inflammatory or infectious disease of the oesophagus occurring in tissue layers beneath but sparing the mucosa may pose a diagnostic challenge. Bacterial pyomyositis has been previously reported occurring mostly in the skeletal muscle. Pyomyositis involving the gastrointestinal tract is extremely rare, and may easily be misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific clinical features. We report a case ...
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...
