Oh and hmm I'm pretty sure the States and canada and different climates from each other and Hmm considering Cepacia is a bacteria found EVERYWHERE maybe that's why we may or may not have more cepacia cases. Are you a scientist? are you a doctor? do you specialize in CF? OMIGOD NO! Have you conducted a throrough study of why we have more cepacia! Don't think you have! Our doctors don't run around saying yeah sure hang out it's fine! They sit you down and explain the F***ing precautions! So I'LL Spare you even more details because you skim and don't actually read through a thread before reading it!

According to this article, Burkholderia dolosa is genomovar VI of B. Cepacia, much like genomovar II is called b. multivorans.

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but it says, like most genomovars, it's associated with decreased lung function and survival.

I wonder if there's more cases of Cepacia in Canada simply because Cepacia needs a wet breeding ground, and Canada is known for its wet cold temps.

Hi Jane, I believe that B. dolosa is genomovar VI, I did find an abstract from Respiratory and Critical Care Journal that describes it a bit. I hope it helps...

Allie, Thanks, I just googled the same thing. We don't have b. dolosa, but I've heard it was in issue in our clinic a few years ago. They have since taken HUGE steps toward a safer clinic. I wondered if anyone here had it and how they were.

Jane, By 'HUGE steps' can you elaborate. Some of us are trying to get to the bottom of what clinics should be doing. Thank you in advance.
