Revised Approach for Identification of Isolates within the Burkholderia cepacia Complex and Description of Clinical Isolates Not Assigned to Any of the Known Genomovars

摘要

One hundred thirty-eight clinical isolates of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) were identified using a modified strategy that involved PCR detection of the cblA gene for the ET12 lineage simultaneously with detection of the Bcc recA PCR product; recA sequence cluster analysis also was part of the strategy. Four strains could not be assigned to any of the known genomovars.
