Long-Term Colonization of the Cystic Fibrosis Lung by Burkholderia cepacia Complex Bacteria: Epidemiology, Clonal Variation, and Genome-Wide Expression Alterations

Long-term respiratory infections with Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients generally lead to a more rapid decline in lung function and, in some cases, to a fatal necrotizing pneumonia known as the “cepacia syndrome.” Bcc bacteria are ubiquitous in the environm...
