Ry got it from the environment, I know this for certain. Ry didn't go to a CF clinic, and he was the only CF patient at his pulmonologist's. And all the CFers that live in the area, only one cultured cepacia at all, and it was a different genomovar from Ry. Ry's genomovar was also consistent with what's used on the wheat farms, which is grown around here.
