Prevalence of Burkholderia species, including members of complex, among UK cystic and non-cystic fibrosis patients Free

Abstract

We aimed to establish the prevalence of different species among UK cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF patients over a 2 year period.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry was used to identify isolates to genus level, followed by sequence clustering or species-specific PCR. In all, 1047 isolates were submitted for identification from 361 CF patients and 112 non-CF patients, 25 from the hospital environment and three from a commercial company. Potential cross-infection was assessed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multi- locus-sequence typing (MLST). MICs were determined for 161 complex (Bcc) isolates. CF Trust registry data were sought to examine clinical parameters relating to Bcc infection.

was the most prevalent species among CF patients affecting 56 % (192) patients, followed by IIIA (15 %; 52 patients). Five novel clusters were found. Among non-CF patients, was the most prevalent species (37/112; 34 %), with 18 of 40 isolates part of a UK-wide ‘cluster’. This and three other clusters were investigated by PFGE and MLST. Cable-pili positive isolates included two novel sequence types and representatives of ET12. Antibiotic susceptibility varied between and within species and CF/non- CF isolates. CF Trust registry data suggested no significant difference in lung function between patients harbouring and other Bcc species (=0.81).

The dominance of in CF, the presence of a cluster among non-CF patients and the existence of putative novel species all highlighted the continuing role of species as opportunistic pathogens.
