The increasing prevalence and worldwide distribution of multidrug-resistant bacterial
pathogens is an imminent danger to public health and threatens virtually all aspects of …

The objective of the present study was to provide an updated classification for Burkholderia
cepacia complex (Bcc) taxon K isolates. A representative set of 39 taxon K isolates were …

Two putative novel Burkholderia cenocepacia lineages found in the semi-arid region of
north-east Brazil causing onion sour skin were studied using genomic approaches to …

The genus Burkholderia includes a wide range of Gram-negative bacterial species some of
which are pathogenic to humans and other vertebrates. The most pathogenic species are …

Background Burkholderia pseudomallei is a soil-dwelling bacterium and the causative agent
of melioidosis. The global burden and distribution of melioidosis is poorly understood …

Distinct Burkholderia strains were isolated from soil samples collected in tropical northern
Australia (Northern Territory and the Torres Strait Islands, Queensland). Phylogenetic …

The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) procedure was developed to provide a
harmonised generic pre‐evaluation to support safety risk assessments of biological agents …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most life-limiting autosomal recessive disorder in Caucasians. CF
is characterized by abnormal viscous secretions that impair the function of several tissues …

Chronic pulmonary infection is a hallmark of lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF). Infections
