Lysogeny and bacteriophage host range within the Burkholderia cepacia complex.
The Burkholderia cepacia complex comprises a group of nine closely related species that have emerged as life-threatening pulmonary pathogens in immunocompromised patients, particularly individuals with cystic fibrosis or chronic granulomatous disease. Attempts to explain the genomic plasticity, adaptability and virulence of the complex have paid little attention to bacteriophages, particularly ...
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 کاملThe Promise of Bacteriophage Therapy for Burkholderia cepacia Complex Respiratory Infections
In recent times, increased attention has been given to evaluating the efficacy of phage therapy, especially in scenarios where the bacterial infectious agent of interest is highly antibiotic resistant. In this regard, phage therapy is especially applicable to infections caused by the Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) since members of the BCC are antibiotic pan-resistant. Current studies in BCC...
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...
