چکیده
We report the first case of community-acquired bacteremia with Burkholderia fungorum, a newly described member of the Burkholderia cepacia complex. A 9-year-old girl sought treatment with septic arthritis in her right knee and ankle with soft tissue involvement. Commercial identification systems did not identify the causative microorganism.

Multiple formaldehyde oxidation/detoxification pathways in Burkholderia fungorum LB400.
Burkholderia species are free-living bacteria with a versatile metabolic lifestyle. The genome of B. fungorum LB400 is predicted to encode three different pathways for formaldehyde oxidation: an NAD-linked, glutathione (GSH)-independent formaldehyde dehydrogenase; an NAD-linked, GSH-dependent formaldehyde oxidation system; and a tetrahydromethanopterin-methanofuran-dependent formaldehyde oxidat...
متن کاملA Possible Link between Infection with Burkholderia Bacteria and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Based on Epitope Mimicry
We previously demonstrated that purified polyclonal and monoclonal anti-dsDNA antibodies bind a 15-mer peptide ASPVTARVLWKASHV in ELISA and Dot blot. This 15-mer peptide partial sequence ARVLWKASH shares similarity with burkholderia bacterial cytochrome B 561 partial sequence ARVLWRATH. In this study, we show that purified anti-dsDNA antibodies react with burkholderia fungorum bacterial cell ly...
متن کاملSynovial Tissue Infection with Burkholderia fungorum
To the Editor: The genus Burkholderia, first proposed in 1992, has now expanded to consist of many species (1). Bacteria of this genus exhibit extensive ubiquity; they have been isolated from human, animal, and environmental sources (1,2). Although rare, Burkholderia fungorum has been implicated in several human infections (2–4). We isolated B. fungorum from the synovial tissue of a patient’s k...
متن کاملScreening and identification of a feruloyl esterase producing bacteria Burkholderia fungorum A216
A bacterial strain named A216, with feruloyl esterase producing capability, was isolated from forest soil after enrichment. The strain was identified at the species level by morphology, physiological-biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequencing assay. The results revealed that strain A216 was accurately identified as Burkholderia fungorum, and the ITS sequence of the species was submitted to ...
متن کاملEndophytic Burkholderia fungorum DBT1 can improve phytoremediation efficiency of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Burkholderia fungorum DBT1 is a bacterial strain isolated from an oil refinery discharge and capable of transforming dibenzothiophene, phenanthrene, naphthalene, and fluorene. In order to evaluate the influence of a policyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-transforming bacterial strain on the phytoremediation of organic contaminants, B. fungorum DBT1 was inoculated into hybrid poplar (Populus delt...
