Outbreak of Burkholderia cenocepacia in an intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital identified by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis
Nosocomial outbreaks of Burkholderia cepacia complex, transmitted through contaminated medical surfaces or equipment have been reported. Pulsed-field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) is recognized as the “gold standard” for molecular subtyping, yet studies on clonal relationships in India are limited. PFGE was used to study the clonal relationships of 22 isolates of Burkholderia cenocepacia from 12 patients admitted to a critical care unit during 2 months (November and December 2021). PFGE revealed three different profiles with 15 isolates belonging to a single cluster suggesting a common source within the hospital, emphasizing the need for preventive measures to control B. cenocepacia transmission.
