A identification method for clinical burkholderia cepacia isolates / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective To approach a simple identification method for clinical Burkholderia cepacia isolates.Methods Thirty eight clinical isolates and 5 referenc strains were identified by phenotypic and genotypic methods. A simple method presented here included TSI agar, oxidase test, pigmentation test, catalase test and antibiograms.Results All but one B. cepacia isolate identified by phenotypic and genotypic methods were identified correctly by our method. One non B. Cepacia isolate identified by the genotypic method was identified as Burkholderia spp. by phenotyic and our methods.Conculsion The method we presented here was simple, practical for identification of clinical B. cepacia isolates.
