Epidemiology of Burkholderia multivorans strains obtained from non-cystic fibrosis patients isolated in large hospitals across the Czech Republic

Original language description

In a previous study published in this journal we described an epidemic infection caused by Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) isolates in the University Hospital Olomouc in the Czech Republic. We showed an unusual representation of Burkholderia multivorans in non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) patients, hospitalized mainly in intensive care units (ICUs). 1 The majority of these were obtained from airway samples and in 24% of cases the infection caused by B. multivorans led to death of the patients (17% of them in association with hospital-acquired pneumonia). Whereas 74 strains of B. multivorans analysed comprised 20 different groups of genetically related strains, the majority (52%) belonged to one clonal strain: ST439, spread around the hospital. Because we could not identify the chain of transmission or determine whether infection with ST439 was a local problem or not, we commenced a wider study which we briefly outline here.
