Burkholderia cenocepacia causing bloodstream infections among patients of an dialysis facility

Patient and environmental isolates from an investigation of B. cepacia complex bloodstream infections among patients of an outpatient dialysis facility were sequenced. These isolates were highly similar to one another and had a novel MLST profile as determined in silico. Pennsylvania, 2016-2017

本研究针对某门诊透析中心患者的洋葱伯克霍尔德菌复合体（Burkholderia cepacia complex, B. cepacia complex）血流感染展开调查，从中获取的患者分离株与环境分离株均完成了测序。上述分离株彼此间同源性极高，经计算机模拟（in silico）分析确认其携带全新的多位点序列分型（Multilocus Sequence Typing, MLST）图谱。本调查实施于2016-2017年的宾夕法尼亚州。
