title: Strains of Burkholderia cenocepacia genomovar IIIA possessing the cblA gene that are distinct from ET12.
abstract: Three strains of Burkholderia cenocepacia genomovar IIIA that were polymerase chain reaction positive for cblA, bcrA, and the epidemic strain marker, but were distinct from representatives of ET12 by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, are described. One of these strains was shown to express cable pili by electron microscopy.
