Abstract: Mucoid Burkholderia cepacia morphotype emerged within a nine year follow-up of a cystic fibrosis patient. Clinical data suggested a linkage between the mucoid phenotype isolation and the deterioration of the patient's condition. Despite of the phenotypic variation, molecular typing showed that the patient was chronically infected with B. cepacia complex isolates belonging to a same genetic clone.

“…In our study, the four bacterial isolates exhibiting the mucoid phenotype were identified as B. cenocepacia (1592 and 1640) and B. vietnamiensis (1629 and 1639). Although the mucoid colony morphotype has been rarely described in both clinical and environmental isolates of the BCC, recent studies have also shown that BCC isolates may be exopolysaccharide (EPS) producers [20,21]. Most of the persistently infected CF patients monitored by Cunha et al [21], harboured mucoid BCC isolates.…”
