Complex Burkholderia Cepacia in personal care products: Molecular epidemiology and vulnerability to preservatives

Many outbreaks of Burkholderia Cepacia Complex (BCC) infection are associated with contamination in personal care products (PCPS). This study aims to analyze the collection of BCC isolates in PCPs and assess preservative vulnerabilities, including Dimethoxy Dimethyl Hydantoin (DMDMH), Methylisothyzolinone-Chloromethylisothiazolinone (MIT / CMIT), and Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (MH). BCC isolates collected during the 3-year study period (2015-2017) […]
