Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a cause of health care-associated infections in immunocompromised patients and people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF). This report summarizes a B contaminans pseudo-outbreak related to improper laboratory processes affecting surgical specimens from immunocompetent individuals and respiratory cultures from PwCF. METHODS: In October 2024, an increase in BCC isolates...
