Treatment of infection only possible with multiple antibiotics.
Infection with Burkholderia cepacia can cause a rapid decrease in lung function, which in some cases results in the death of the patient. The treatment is relatively complicated as Burkholderia cepacia is naturally resistant to many common antibiotics, including aminoglycosides and polymyxin B, and even withstands the iodophores used as an antiseptic. Therapy usually requires the use of several different antibiotics to get the disease under control. (Fp)
