Phenotypic and genotypic typing of Burkholderia cepacia complex isolated from non-cystic fibrosis patients in Kuwait.

The focus on BCC species in this study is driven by their pathological significance and lack of well defined characterization in Kuwait. In this study we aimed to perform phenotypic and molecular characterization of multidrug resistant BCC isolates. The results will contribute to better understanding of genetic relatedness of isolates from Kuwait to other regions of the world.
