Abstract excerpt
Recent taxonomic advances have demonstrated that Burkholderia cepacia is a cluster of at least seven closely related genomic species (or genomovars) collectively referred to as the B. cepacia complex, all of which may cause infections among cystic fibrosis patients and other vulnerable individuals. Thus, it is important for clinical microbiologists to be able to differentiate genomovars. Prior to this study, 361...
