Isolate Burkholderia cepacia from respiratory secretions of patients with cystic fibrosis with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Burkholderia Cepacia Agar Base, which is also used for routine testing of non-sterile inorganic salt solutions in hospital environments. The slower growing B. cepacia can be missed on conventional media, such as blood or MacConkey Agar, due to overgrowth caused by other faster growing organisms found in the respiratory tract of CF patients, such as mucoid Klebsiella species,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus species.This may lead to the infection being missed or wrongly diagnosed.
