Disproportionate Distribution of <i>Burkholderia cepacia</i> Complex Species and Transmissibility Markers in Cystic Fibrosis
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
Several distinct species (genomovars) comprise bacteria previously identified merely as Burkholderia cepacia. Understanding how these species, collectively referred to as the B. cepacia complex, differ in their epidemiology and pathogenic potential in cystic fibrosis (CF) is important in efforts to refine management strategies.
