Identification and characterization of a novel DNA marker associated with epidemic Burkholderia cepacia strains recovered from patients with cystic fibrosis
1 Apr 1997
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cepacia is a problematic pathogen that may spread among patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). One highly infectious CF strain that causes epidemics in both the United Kingdom and eastern Canada has been shown to possess both the cable pilin subunit gene (cblA) and a unique combination of insertion sequences. However, no genetic markers linking this strain type with other types epidemic at various...
