	Abstract

138 clinical isolates of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) were identified using a modified strategy, involving PCR detection of the cblA gene for the ET12 lineage simultaneously with detection of the Bcc recA PCR product, and recA sequence cluster analysis. Four strains could not be assigned to any of the known genomovars.
