متن کاملIsolation medium for the recovery of Pseudomonas cepacia from respiratory secretions of patients with cystic fibrosis.
A new medium for the isolation of Pseudomonas cepacia from respiratory tract secretions of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is described. This medium consists of inorganic salts, 0.5% pyruvate, and 0.1% proteose peptone as nutritive components and 0.0001% crystal violet, 0.15% bile salts, 100 micrograms of ticarcillin per ml, and 300 U of polymyxin B per ml as selective agents. The medium, de...
متن کاملCharacterization of Pseudomonas cepacia isolates from patients with cystic fibrosis.
Pseudomonas cepacia infections which follow a fulminant course and which include septicemia are being reported with increasing frequency from cystic fibrosis patients. Forty-eight P. cepacia isolates from cystic fibrosis patients were screened for production of potential virulence factors. A majority of strains tested produced protease and lipase. Eleven strains harbored plasmids of approximate...
متن کاملCepacia Syndrome in a Non-Cystic Fibrosis Patient
Burkholderia (formerly Pseudomonas) cepacia complex is a known serious threat to patients with cystic fibrosis, in whom it has the potential to cause the fatal combination of necrotizing pneumonia, worsening respiratory failure, and bacteremia, known as Cepacia syndrome. The potential for this pathogen to infect non-cystic fibrosis patients is limited and its epidemiology is poorly understood. ...
