Misidentification of a genomovar of Burkholderia cepacia by recA restriction fragment length polymorphism.

An 8 year old girl with cystic fibrosis presented with a pulmonary exacerbation from which Burkholderia cepacia was cultured. Subsequent polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the recA gene suggested the presence of B cepacia Genomovar V (Burkholderia vietnamiensis); however, on subsequent sequence typing, this isolate was confirmed as B cepacia Genomovar IIIb. This report outlines the potential difficulties in the correct characterisation of the various genomovars within the B cepacia complex of organisms, which has particularly important implications for patient segregation and infection control.[1]
