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.

Overview of distinct PvuII and EcoRI ribotype patterns. The dendrogram was obtained after unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean clustering of PvuII ribotype patterns using Pearson correlation coefficients (which are transformed into percentage values on the scale). The two major B. multivorans genotypes, genotypes A (PvuII-32/EcoRI-8) and B (PvuII-101/EcoRI-28), are underlined. The molecular size scale (in kilobases) is shown above the patterns. The strain codes, PvuII and EcoRI ribotypes, and Burkholderia species are shown to the right of the patterns.
