The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) consists of a group of related genospecies that include important opportunistic pathogens, especially in relation to cystic fibrosis (CF) (Mahenthiralingam et al., 2005). The most common and pathogenically important member of the BCC is Burkholderia cenocepacia, which along with Burkholderia multivorans accounts for the vast majority of BCC isolates from CF patients.
