Identification of Lysine Positive Non-Fermenting Gram Negative Bacilli (Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia and Burkholderia Cepacia Complex)

Existence of Burkholderia cepacia at Burn and Intensive Care Units in Alexandria Main University Hospital, Egypt

“…On the other hand, Dizbay et al(2009) (20) Examining the results of those 3 studies, we observe that the strains were more sensitive to meropenem (50%) than those of Gautam et al (25) (36.7%) and similarly with Disbay et al (51.3%). The present study were more resistant to ceftazidime (100%) than those of Disbay et al (61.5%), yet the least resistant to ceftazidime was reported by Gautam et al (20%).…”

“…The present study were more resistant to ceftazidime (100%) than those of Disbay et al (61.5%), yet the least resistant to ceftazidime was reported by Gautam et al (20%). (25) More discrepancies are observed as regards piperacillin-tazobactam, where BCC strains in the study of Gautam et al (25) and Dizbay et al (20) were more sensitive to this antibiotic than those tested in the present study showing (86.7%, 61.6%) respectively, and the sensitivity for ciprofloxacin were (83.3%, 46.2%) while none of the 32 B. cepacia complex strains in the present study were sensitive to piperacillin-tazobactam and ciprofloxacin. Another study in Alexandria University 2011, (19) the antibiotic resistance pattern of the 35 BCCstrains as detected by the modified Bauer Kirby single disc diffusion technique revealed that altogether the 35 strains were distributed among 17 different resistance profiles.…”

Microbiological assessment ofBurkholderia cepaciacomplex (Bcc) isolates in Alexandria Main University Hospital

“…was based on other similar studies using biochemical tests for preliminary identification. 10,17,24 This was further confirmed by the RapID NF Plus commercial system, giving the above mentioned biochemical tests in combination with BCSA an important value in preliminary identification of B. cepacia.…”
