Re: Cepacia name /possible dummy at work here!

[Guest guest]

I am not sure that Burkholder's discoveries really make Cepacia NOT

part of the pseudomonas family of nasties. And whereas I, too, like to

dream along with myself, I think that I will do some more research on this to

see whether Burkholderia Cepacia is not a mutation of Psuedoo

monas Cepacia; if worse comes to worse, I have a cousin who teaches

at U of Michigan where Lipuma now is, and I can get his e-mail and post

him and get the ULTIMATE FACTS! I am not sure which I de

test more--being right or being wrong!
