Abstract excerpt
Bacteria of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) are opportunistic human pathogens that can cause serious infections in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. The Bcc is a complex taxonomic group and comprises 17 closely related species of both biotechnological and clinical importance that have been discriminated by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. In this study we focused on the hisA gene, which encodes a...
