Discrimination of Burkholderia gladioli from other Burkholderia species detectable in cystic fibrosis patients by PCR.

چکیده
A procedure for molecular identification of Burkholderia gladioli is described. Specific 16S and 23S rRNA gene signature sequences were defined as primers for PCR. The method allows rapid and specific discrimination of B. gladioli from related species (B. cepacia, B. multivorans, B. vietnamiensis, B. mallei, B. pseudomallei, Ralstonia pickettii, and R. eutropha) and should contribute to the clarification of its role as a human pathogen, e.g., in cystic fibrosis.

Phenotypic methods for determining genomovar status of the Burkholderia cepacia complex.
Recent taxonomic advances have demonstrated that Burkholderia cepacia is a cluster of at least seven closely related genomic species (or genomovars) collectively referred to as the B. cepacia complex, all of which may cause infections among cystic fibrosis patients and other vulnerable individuals. Thus, it is important for clinical microbiologists to be able to differentiate genomovars. Prior ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) predisposes patients to bacterial colonization and infection of the lower airways. Several species belonging to the genus Burkholderia are potential CF-related pathogens, but microbiological identification may be complicated. This situation is not in the least due to the poorly defined taxonomic status of these bacteria, and further validation of the available diagnostic as...
