2167. Evaluation of Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for Rapid and Reagent-Free Identification of Burkholderia spp.
Abstract:Background
Burkholderia cepacia complex including B. gladioli are opportunistic pathogenic bacteria affecting the immunocompromised population. For prognosis and appropriate treatment, rapid and accurate species identification is particularly important for those diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF). Conventional biochemical identification techniques are insensitive and problematic for identifying Burkholderia spp., leading to common misidentification or inconclusive results. Recent studies have successfully emp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
