Abstract
Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) has a complex taxonomic organization and its identification is a challenge for microbiology laboratories. Nonidentification or misidentification of BCC isolates represent a problem in epidemiology and treatment of cystic fibrosis patients. The high specificity and sensitivity of the multiplex Real-time PCR assay developed in this study indicates its potential to be a rapid and reliable method for the detection of Burkholderia at the level of species from sputum samples of cystic fibrosis patients.
