ABSTRACT The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is a group of genetically related
environmental bacteria that can cause chronic opportunistic infections in patients with cystic …

Naringinases has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to its hydrolytic
activities which include the production of rhamnose, and prunin and debittering of citrus fruit …

The presence of persister cells has been proposed as a factor in biofilm resilience. In the
present study we investigated whether persister cells are present in Burkholderia cepacia …

It was recently proposed that bactericidal antibiotics, besides through specific drug-target
interactions, kill bacteria by a common mechanism involving the production of reactive …

Burkholderia species are extremely multidrug resistant, environmental bacteria with
extraordinary bioremediation and biocontrol properties. At the same time, these bacteria …

The asymmetric outer membrane (OM) of Gram‐negative bacteria contains
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the outer leaflet and phospholipid in the inner leaflet. During OM …

The araC-ParaBAD inducible promoter system is tightly controlled and allows gene
expression to be modulated over a wide range in Escherichia coli, which has led to its …

Using a conditional mutagenesis strategy we demonstrate here that a gene cluster encoding
putative aminoarabinose (Ara4N) biosynthesis enzymes is essential for the viability of …

Burkholderia cenocepacia infection often leads to fatal cepacia syndrome in cystic fibrosis
patients. However, antibiotic therapy rarely results in complete eradication of the pathogen …

Inducible utilization pathways reflect widespread microbial strategies to uptake and
consume sugars from the environment. Despite their broad importance and extensive …
