Evaluation of Three Culture Media for Isolation of Burkholderia cepacia Complex from Respiratory Samples of Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a significant pathogen causing respiratory disease in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). Diagnosis is typically achieved by isolation of BCC on selective culture media following culture of sputum or other respiratory samples. The aim of this study was to com...

description | Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a significant pathogen causing respiratory disease in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). Diagnosis is typically achieved by isolation of BCC on selective culture media following culture of sputum or other respiratory samples. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of three commercially available selective media for the isolation of BCC. The three media comprised Burkholderia cepacia selective agar (BCSA; bioMérieux), BD Cepacia medium (BD: Becton–Dickinson) and MAST Cepacia medium (MAST laboratories). Each medium was challenged with 270 respiratory samples from individuals with CF as well as an international collection of BCC (n = 26) and 14 other isolates of Burkholderia species at a range of inocula. The international collection was also used to artificially “spike” 26 respiratory samples. From a total of 34 respiratory samples containing BCC, 97% were recovered on BD and 94% were detected on MAST and BCSA. All three media were effective for isolation of BCC. BCSA was much more selective than the other two media (p < 0.0001) meaning that fewer isolates required processing to exclude the presence of BCC. |
