Abstract excerpt
Twenty-one strains of Burkholderia cepacia isolated from the environment, and 21 clinical strains isolated principally from sputum of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, were characterized genotypically by macrorestriction analysis (genome fingerprinting) and PCR ribotyping, and phenotypically by susceptibility to antibiotics and the ability to macerate onion tissue. The plasmid content of the strains was also...
