Burkholderia cepacia immobilized onto rGO as a biomaterial for the removal of naphthalene from wastewater
In this study, a new functional biomaterial based on Burkholderia cepacia (BK) immobilized on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared, resulting in the removal of 99.0% naphthalene within 48 h. This was better than the 67.3% for free BK and 55.6% for rGO alone. Various characterizations indicated that reduced graphene oxide-Burkholderia cepacia (rGO-BK) was successfully synthesized and secreted non-toxic and degradable surfactants which participated in the degradation of naphthalene. The adsorption kinetics and degradation kinetics conformed best to non-linear pseudo-second-order and pseudo-first-order kinetic models, re...

Burkholderia cepacia-contaminated dentures possibly cause pneumonia
We report a case in which a patient was suspected of developing pneumonia due to wearing dentures that were immersed in a storage solution contaminated with 3.0 × 108 colony-forming units (cfu)/mL of Burkholderia cepacia. It is highly possible that the contaminated denture solution entered the trachea and caused the pneumonia, possibly due to the prolonged supine positioning of the patient. We demonstrated that B. cepacia isolated from the sputum and B. cepacia isolated from the denture storage solution had the same DNA fingerprint, and that the patient recovered from pneumonia after stopping the use of dentures. These fi...
