Abstract

Burkholderia cenocepacia is a Gram-negative bacterium causing a number of diseases in plants, for example in onions. On the other hand, this bacterium also infects immunocompromised humans, especially cystic fibrosis patients. Crucial role in the infection and colonization could be played by bacterial lectins.

Abstract (in Czech)

Burkholderia cenocepacia je Gramnegativní bakteria, která je primárně rostlinný patogen, může napadat například cibili. Může však také napadat osoby se sníženou imunitou, především pacienty s cystickou fibrózou. Významnou roli v infekci a kolonizaci mohou hrát bakteriální lektiny.
