Biocide 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 کاملBurkholderia cepacia complex and cystic fibrosis
The bacteriae previously known as ‘Burkholderia cepacia’ have been reclassified as nine closely related species, sometimes referred to as ‘genomovars’ (Table 1), (Coenye et al, 2001; Mahenthiralingam et al, 2002). Collectively these are commonly referred to as ‘Burkholderia cepacia complex’ (Bcc). The various genomovars have different pathogenic potential (Keig et al, 1999; Bevivino et al, 2002...
متن کاملBurkholderia cepacia Complex as Human Pathogens.
Although sporadic human infection due to Burkholderia cepacia has been reported for many years, it has been only during the past few decades that species within the B. cepacia complex have emerged as significant opportunistic human pathogens. Individuals with cystic fibrosis, the most common inherited genetic disease in Caucasian populations, or chronic granulomatous disease, a primary immunode...
متن کاملFactors influencing acquisition of Burkholderia cepacia complex organisms in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Burkholderia cepacia complex organisms are important transmissible pathogens found in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. In recent years, the rates of cross-infection of epidemic strains have declined due to effective infection control efforts. However, cases of sporadic B. cepacia complex infection continue to occur in some centers. The acquisition pathways and clinical outcomes of sporadic B. cep...
متن کاملDistribution of quorum-sensing genes in the Burkholderia cepacia complex.
The distribution of quorum-sensing genes among strains from seven genomovars of the Burkholderia cepacia complex was examined by PCR. cepR and cepI were amplified from B. cepacia genomovars I and III, B. stabilis, and B. vietnamiensis. cepR was also amplified from B. multivorans and B. cepacia genomovar VI. bviIR were amplified from B. vietnamiensis. All genomovars produced N-octanoyl-L-homoser...
