5. Immun. Burkholderia cepacia is characterized by a resistance to many antibiotics. 2. Indeed pyocyanin production by The bacterial strains used in this study are listed in Table An ELIT (ISM-146 CN) cyanide ion-selective micro-electrode (Lazar Research Laboratories, L.A., CA, USA) was used for measuring cyanide concentration in culture supernatants as described previously [The glass bead biofilm apparatus consisted of a 90 mm Petri dish filled with 48 g of 6 mm glass beads (Fluka), which was sufficient to cover the bottom of the Petri dish in a single layer. Abstract. The transmission is airborne as a rule. In addition, he has been described as a cause of pneumonia in patients with chronic granulomatous disease and as a nosocomial pathogen in immunocompetent patients.

It is about 1 x 2.5 microns great aerobic gram-negative bacilli with polar flagella. BCC strain C1394 was rapidly cleared by leukopenic mice after intranasal challenge, whereas a spontaneous variant (C1394mp2) that was indistinguishable from the parent strain by genetic typing persisted in the lungs and differed in colonial morphology. These glycolipids are part of the mucous that is found in humans. 2002, 51 (7): 533-538.Banerjee D, Stableforth D: The treatment of respiratory Pseudomonas infection in cystic fibrosis - What drug and which way?.
Colonies are smooth and slightly raised; occasionally isolates are mucoid. The genus Burkholderia is an extremely heterogeneous group that includes soil bacteria, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria, and human and plant pathogens. 0000003648 00000 n
