Production of Exopolysaccharide by <i>Burkholderia cenocepacia</i> Results in Altered Cell‐Surface Interactions and Altered Bacterial Clearance in Mice
9 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Despite the characterization of some Burkholderia cepacia complex exopolysaccharides (EPSs), little is known about the role of EPSs in the pathogenicity of B. cepacia complex organisms. We describe 2 Burkholderia cenocepacia (genomovar III) isolates obtained from a patient with cystic fibrosis (CF): the nonmucoid isolate C8963 and the mucoid isolate C9343. Both isolates had identical random amplified polymorphic...
