Species distribution and ribotype diversity of Burkholderia cepacia complex isolates from French patients with cystic fibrosis

J Clin Microbiol. 2004 Oct;42(10):4824-7. doi: 10.1128/JCM.42.10.4824-4827.2004.

Abstract

A total of 153 Burkholderia cepacia strains obtained from 153 French patients with cystic fibrosis were identified as Burkholderia multivorans (51.6%) or Burkholderia cenocepacia (45.1%). Eighty-two genotypes were identified using PvuII and EcoRI ribotyping. B. multivorans genotype A (found in 32 French patients) and two other genotypes were also identified among isolates from Austrian, German, Italian, and Canadian patients.
