Distribution 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...
متن کاملThe detection of insertion sequences within the human pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei which have been identified previously in Burkholderia cepacia.
Using primers designed from the nucleotide sequences of five insertion elements identified previously in Burkholderia cepacia, the presence of two insertion sequences (IS406 and IS407) was detected in chromosomal DNA isolated from strains of the human pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei. The IS407 homologue was cloned from B. pseudomallei NCTC 4845 and nucleotide sequenced to confirm its identit...
متن کاملBiocide 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 کاملDistribution and expression of the ZmpA metalloprotease in the Burkholderia cepacia complex.
The distribution of the metalloprotease gene zmpA was determined among strains of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc). The zmpA gene was present in B. cepacia, B. cenocepacia, B. stabilis, B. ambifaria and B. pyrrocinia but absent from B. multivorans, B. vietnamiensis, B. dolosa, and B. anthina. The presence of zmpA generally correlated with extracellular proteolytic activity with the except...
