- Abstract
The article discusses research on the presence of the pathogen Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) in patients with septicaemic non-cystic fibrosis (CF) in tertiary care hospitals in north India. BCC isolates were identified using standard phenotypic and a molecular recA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method. The non-CF BCC isolates showed susceptibility to the drug ceftazidime. The study found that the most prevalent BCC species among the non-CF patients was Burkholderia cenocepacia.
