ABSTRACT
Bacteria of the Burkholderia cepacia complex cause frequent infections in immunocompromised and hospitalized patients, with a significant mortality rate. Phenotypic identification of those bacteria is difficult and therefore rarely reported from developing countries. This study presents the first ever reported case series of Burkholderia cenocepacia neonatal sepsis in Central African Republic. It demonstrates the superiority of molecular methods to accurately identify B. cenocepacia IIIA species compared to the phenotypic methods.
