molecular typing of, and distribution of genetic markers among, burkholderia cepacia complex isolates from brazil.pcr tests were used to assign genomovar status to 39 non-cystic fibrosis (non-cf) and 11 cf burkholderia cepacia complex isolates from patients in hospitals in recife, brazil. non-cf isolates were assigned to genomovar iiia (71.8%), genomovar i (15.4%), b. vietnamiensis (7.7%), and b. multivorans (5.1%). cf isolates were assigned to genomovar iiia (18.2%), b. vietnamiensis (18.2%), and genomovar i (9.1%). six cf isolates sharing reca pcr-restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) and random ...200312958239
polyclonal outbreak of burkholderia cepacia complex bacteraemia in haemodialysis patients.we report a polyclonal outbreak of bacteraemia involving 24 patients at a haemodialysis facility in recife (brazil). during the outbreak period (4 june to 11 july, 2001), three burkholderia cepacia complex strains were isolated from human blood and from various water samples collected at different sites in the haemodialysis unit and from dialysate fluids. out of 14 patients with positive blood cultures, six were infected by burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria: three with burkholderia cepacia g ...200312818585
recovery and screening for antibiotic susceptibility of potential bacterial pathogens from the oral cavity of shark species involved in attacks on humans in recife, brazil.the number of incidents involving sharks and humans at beaches in recife, on the north-eastern brazilian coast, is among the highest worldwide. in addition, wound infections in survivors are common; but the nature and risk of the aetiological agents is unknown. in the present study, 81 potential bacterial pathogens were identified in the oral cavity of sharks involved in attacks in recife, and were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility tests using the standardized disc-diffusion method. the maj ...201020413619
