The Gram-negative proteobacteria genus Burkholderia encompasses multiple bacterial
species that are pathogenic to humans and other vertebrates. Two pathogenic species of …

Rationale: We have been collecting Burkholderia species bacteria from patients with cystic
fibrosis (CF) for the last 30 years. During this time, our understanding of their multispecies …

Objective This review examines the current literature on the gut-skin connection in alopecia
and summarizes interventions that impact hair growth by modulation of the gut or skin …

Bacteria from the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) are capable of causing severe
infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). These opportunistic pathogens are also widely …

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss in males. It is a multifactorial
condition involving genetic predisposition and hormonal changes. The role of microflora …

We evaluated the performance of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight
(MALDI-ToF) for identification of Bcc species compared with that of recA sequencing. MALDI …

Chronic pulmonary infection is a hallmark of lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF). Infections
dominated by non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli are particularly difficult to treat and …

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF
MS) to identify 396 Nonfermenting Gram-Negative Bacilli clinical isolates was evaluated in …

Abstract The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) represents an important group of
pathogens involved in long-term lung infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. A positive …

Importance Many health care facilities compound medications on site to fulfill local demands
when customized formulations are needed, national supply is critically low, or costs for …
