Presence of the Hmq system and production of 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-alkylquinolines is heterogeneously distributed between <i>Burkholderia cepacia</i> complex species and more prevalent among environmental than clinical isolates

Abstract excerpt
Some Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) strains have been reported to produce 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-alkylquinolines (HMAQs), analogous to the 4-hydroxy-2-alkylquinolines of Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Using in silico analyses, we previously showed that the hmqABCDEFG operon, which encodes enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of HMAQs, is carried by about one-third of Bcc strains, with considerable inter- and intra...
