ABSTRACT
Background:
Damaging of the lung function in patients with cystic fibrosis is the most frequent cause of death in these patients. Recently, Burkholderia cepacia has been emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen in these patients; because of its increased isolation from patients with cystic fibrosis since late1970s, the capacity for spread of infection among the cystic fibrosis patient community, its role in damaging lung functions, and its innate multiantibiotic resistance. These different aspects make isolation of Burkholderia cepacia an important task in cystic fibrosis health care settings
