Stress Conditions Triggering Mucoid Morphotype Variation in Burkholderia Species and Effect on Virulence in Galleria mellonella and Biofilm Formation In Vitro
Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria are opportunistic pathogens causing chronic respiratory infections particularly among cystic fibrosis patients. During these chronic infections, mucoid-to-nonmucoid morphotype variation occurs, with the two morphotypes exhibiting different phenotypic properties. Here we show that in vitro, the mucoid clinical isolate Burkholderia multivorans D2095 giv...
متن کاملA German external quality survey of diagnostic microbiology of respiratory tract infections in patients with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND The goal of this pilot study was to design an external quality assessment (EQA) scheme for German cystic fibrosis (CF) clinical microbiology laboratories. Therefore, a multicentre study of 18 German CF laboratories was performed to evaluate their proficiency in analyzing CF respiratory secretions. METHODS Simulated clinical specimens containing a set of four frequent CF pathogens, ...
متن کاملInsights into the Role of Extracellular Polysaccharides in Burkholderia Adaptation to Different Environments
The genus Burkholderia comprises more than 60 species able to adapt to a wide range of environments such as soil and water, and also colonize and infect plants and animals. They have large genomes with multiple replicons and high gene number, allowing these bacteria to thrive in very different niches. Among the properties of bacteria from the genus Burkholderia is the ability to produce several...
متن کاملPersistence of Burkholderia multivorans within the pulmonary macrophage in the murine lung.
Differences in infection kinetics and host response between Burkholderia multivorans and Burkholderia cenocepacia were demonstrated in a pulmonary infection model in BALB/c mice. B. multivorans persisted in the lung, while B. cenocepacia was cleared. Indirect immunofluorescence and electron microscopy of B. multivorans-infected lungs localized bacteria to macrophages. Clearance of B. cenocepaci...
متن کاملGenomic Sequence of Burkholderia multivorans NKI379, a Soil Bacterium That Inhibits the Growth of Burkholderia pseudomallei
Burkholderia multivorans NKI379 is a soil bacterium that exhibits an antagonistic effect against the growth of Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of the infectious disease melioidosis. We report the draft genomic sequence of B. multivorans NKI379, which has a G+C content of 67% and 5,203 candidate protein-encoding genes.
