Enhancement 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 کاملIsolation of Burkholderia cepacia by enrichment.
Burkholderia cepacia is a recognised cause of respiratory failure in patients with cystic fibrosis. The value of routine use of selective enrichment broth to increase the yield of B cepacia from cystic fibrosis sputa was investigated. Two hundred sputa from 86 adult and paediatric patients were cultured onto B cepacia selective agar and also in enrichment broth. The enrichment broths were subcu...
متن کاملRole of quinolinate phosphoribosyl transferase in degradation of phthalate by Burkholderia cepacia DBO1.
Two distinct regions of DNA encode the enzymes needed for phthalate degradation by Burkholderia cepacia DBO1. A gene coding for an enzyme (quinolinate phosphoribosyl transferase) involved in the biosynthesis of NAD+ was identified between these two regions by sequence analysis and functional assays. Southern hybridization experiments indicate that DBO1 and other phthalate-degrading B. cepacia s...
متن کاملEnhanced degradation of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by newly isolated Burkholderia cepacia DP1 with high depolymerase activity
The contribution of microbial depolymerase has received much attention because of its potential in biopolymer degradation. In this study, the P(3HB) depolymerase enzyme of a newly isolated Burkholderia cepacia DP1 from soil in Penang, Malaysia, was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The factors affecting P(3HB) depolymerase enzyme production were studied using one-variable-at-a...
متن کاملCometabolic Degradation Kinetics of Trichloroethylene Based on Toluene Enhancement by Encapsulated Burkholderia cepacia G4
The ability of encapsulated Burkholderia cepacia G4 (ATCC 53617) for trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation (1.5, 5, 10, and 20mg/L) in the presence of toluene (10 and 60mg/L) as enhancement substrate was evaluated experimentally. Burkholderia cepacia G4 cultures were encapsulated in cylindrical pellets (4mm in diameter and 4mm in height (preferred)) using polyethylene glycol (PEG). Higher transfo...
