Description	Burkholderia cenocepacia is a Gram-negative bacterium causing a number of diseases in plants but this micro-organism also infects immunocompromised humans, especially cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Chronic pulmonary colonization by opportunistic bacteria is the leading cause of death among humans suffering from CF. Crucial role in the infection could be played by bacterial lectins.
