Revised approach for identification of isolates within the Burkholderia cepacia complex and description of clinical isolates not assigned to any of the known genomovars.
نویسندگان
چکیده
One hundred thirty-eight clinical isolates of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) were identified using a modified strategy that involved PCR detection of the cblA gene for the ET12 lineage simultaneously with detection of the Bcc recA PCR product; recA sequence cluster analysis also was part of the strategy. Four strains could not be assigned to any of the known genomovars.

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 ...
متن کاملIdentification of Burkholderia cepacia complex pathogens by rapid-cycle PCR with fluorescent hybridization probes.
Members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex are important bacterial pathogens in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The B. cepacia complex currently consists of nine genetic subgroups (genomovars) of different epidemiological relevance and possibly of different pathogenic potential in humans. In this study, a new approach was developed for the rapid identification of B. cepacia genomovar I, Burkhol...
متن کاملIdentification of members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex by species-specific PCR.
Definitive identification of the species in the Burkholderia cepacia complex by routine clinical microbiology methods is difficult. Phenotypic tests to identify B. multivorans and B. vietnamiensis have been established; more recent work indicates B. stabilis may also be identified by growth characteristics and biochemical tests. However, attempts to identify genomovars I and III have, thus far,...
متن کاملBurkholderia anthina sp. nov. and Burkholderia pyrrocinia, two additional Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria, may confound results of new molecular diagnostic tools.
Nineteen Burkholderia cepacia-like isolates of human and environmental origin could not be assigned to one of the seven currently established genomovars using recently developed molecular diagnostic tools for B. cepacia complex bacteria. Various genotypic and phenotypic characteristics were examined. The results of this polyphasic study allowed classification of the 19 isolates as an eighth B. ...
متن کاملIdentification of isolates within the Burkholderia cepacia complex by a multiplex recA and 16S rRNA gene real-time PCR assay.
Although identification of members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) can be accomplished with phenotypic methods (5), this tends to remain the domain of reference laboratories. However, the genetic sequence of the recA gene has also been found to be useful for BCC genomovar identification (6, 8). We describe the use of a monochrome (SYBR green I), real-time PCR assay with simultaneous d...
