| sternal osteomyelitis and mediastinitis after open-heart operation: pathogenesis and prevention. | sternal osteomyelitis and mediastinitis caused by pseudomonas cepacia developed in a patient undergoing coronary artery bypass two weeks after the operation. p. cepacia bacteremia from a contaminated pressure transducer had preceded and probably caused the chest infection. while other authors have suggested that postoperative sternal osteomyelitis and mediastinitis result from local wound contamination, this case suggests the importance of bacteremia as a cause of such gram-negative infections. ... | 1976 | 1083719 |

| genetic structure of a lotic population of burkolderia (pseudomonas) cepacia. | the genetic structure of a population of burkholderia (pseudomonas) cepacia isolated from a southeastern blackwater stream was investigated by using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis to examine the allelic variation in eight structural gene loci. overall, 213 isolates were collected at transect points along the stream continuum, from both the sediments along the bank and the water column. multilocus enzyme electrophoresis analysis revealed 164 distinct electrophoretic types, and the mean genetic ... | 1995 | 7646017 |
| outbreak of burkholderia cepacia bloodstream infection at an outpatient hematology and oncology practice. | we investigated an outbreak of infection in 10 patients with blood cultures positive for b. cepacia. all patients had indwelling intravenous catheters. though we did not identify the source of the organism, our findings support the hypothesis that cross-contamination of multidose medications through the use of the same needle and syringe was a contributing factor. | 2007 | 17926285 |
