Project description:Burkholderia cenocepacia sequence type 32 (ST32) represents one of the most globally distributed strains from Bukrholderia cepacia complex (Bcc), which infected 30% of Czech cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The aim of this study was to compare gene expression in two pairs of ST32 clinical isolates that were subjected to cultivation in two different conditions, characteristic for chronic B. cenocepacia infection in CF patients. ST32 strain is known to be a problematic epidemic strain, which caused a serious outbreak at the Prague CF centre.
