SANTA MARIA, Calif., Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — USP Chapter <60> describes tests to aid in detecting members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex group in non-sterile products. HardyChrom Bcc is highly selective for B. cepacia and 28 other Bcc strains, including B. cenocepacia and B. multivorans. HardyCHROM Bcc is inhibitory for P. aeruginosa. B. cepacia complex, comprised of 20 closely related species, are Gram negative, opportunistic bacteria that can grow in preserved aqueous oral/nasal liquids and topical products. This group of organisms is difficult to eliminate and capable of causing serious infections in patients with cystic fibrosis, those who are mechanically ventilated, or the immunosuppressed population with serious underlying disease.
HardyChrom Bcc provides vivid identification of Burkholderia cepacia. Growth of B. cepacia, or members of the Bcc group, are detected by a visible color change after three days of incubation at 30-35◦, with formation of pink-to-magenta colonies.
