Infection with<i>Burkholderia cepacia</i>Complex Genomovars in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis: Virulent Transmissible Strains of Genomovar III Can Replace<i>Burkholderia multivorans</i>

Abstract excerpt

Infection with Burkholderia cepacia complex in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) results in highly variable clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are genomovar-specific disparities in transmission and disease severity. B. cepacia complex was recovered from 62 patients with CF on > or =1 occasions (genomovar III, 46 patients; genomovar II [B. multivorans], 19 patients; genomovar...
