Abstract
Performances of several commercial test systems were reviewed to determine their relative levels of accuracy in identifying
Burkholderia cepacia
complex isolates recovered from cystic fibrosis sputum culture. Positive predictive values ranged from 71 to 98%; negative predictive values ranged from 50 to 82%. All systems misidentified
B. cepacia
complex. The species most frequently misidentified as
B. cepacia
was
Burkholderia gladioli
. These data support the results of previous studies that recommend confirmatory testing, including the use of DNA-based methods, for sputum culture isolates presumptively identified as
B. cepacia
.
