Epidemiology of Burkholderia cepacia complex colonisation in cystic fibrosis patients
In Belgian cystic fibrosis (CF) clinics, sputum samples are evaluated on selective MAST medium routinely every 3 months. In this study, in 1993 and 1999, isolates were further examined by recA restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of genomic DNA restricted with SpeI. In 1993, 12 patients were colonised with Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc): B. cenocepacia (n=6), B. multivorans (n=3), B. stabilis (n=3). Four patients were colonised with the same B. cenocepacia strain; two with the same B. stabilis strain. After 5 yrs, three B. cenocepacia- and... Mehr ...
