Title: | Prevalence of Burkholderia cepacia complex species in cystic fibrosis patients in Argentina during the period 2011-2015 | Authors: | Cipolla, Lucía Rocca, María Florencia Martínez, Claudia Aguerre, Lorena Barrios, Rubén Prieto, Mónica A. |
Keywords: | Burkholderia cepacia complex; Complejo Burkholderia cepacia; Cystic fibrosis; Fibrosis quística; recA | Issue Date: | 2018 | Journal: | Enfermedades infecciosas y microbiologia clinica | Abstract: | Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) complex is composed of 20 phylogenetically closely related bacterial species. Some species have emerged as opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients and are responsible for nosocomial outbreaks. The B. cepacia complex is a recognized respiratory pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis. Burkholderia cenocepacia and Burkholderia multivorans (B. multivorans) are the most prevalent species in the world, according to the literature. However, research groups in Argentina have described a particular local epidemiology, with prevalence of Burkholderia contaminans (B. contaminans). |
