The majority of isolates of Burkholderia cepacia, an important opportunistic pathogen associated with cystic fibrosis, can be classified into two types on the basis of flagellin protein size. Electron microscopic analysis indicates that the flagella of strains with the larger flagellin type (type I) are wider in diameter. Flagellin genes representative of both types were cloned and sequenced to design oligonucleotide primers for PCR amplification of the central variable domain of B. cepacia flag ...[more]
