Keyword Searches

• Pubmed was entered and the keywords Burkholderia cenocepacia genome were utilized and a search was conducted; 150 records were found with these keywords and most of the results were related to Burkholderia cenocepacia genes and their characterization. The results seemed very broad and covered a wide variety of topics (the observed papers covered the purpose of certain genetic regions, the virulence of the bacteria, and protein characterization, among many other topics). A paper related to the sequencing of the entire genome of a Burkholderia cenocepacia strain was found on the second page of the search results (was result #21).
  • The keyword sequence was added to the search, which now yielded 106 results. The results appeared to be very similar to the previous search (lots of topics were still covered, which appear to be related to the use of genome data). The same paper that was previously found, which announced the complete genome sequencing of a B. cenocepacia strain (H111), was found earlier. Reading through the genome sequence paper (titled "Genome Sequence of Burkholderia cenocepacia H111, a Cystic Fibrosis Airway Isolate"), the term Burkholderia cepacia complex was noticed (abbreviated BCC), which is a name of a group of bacteria (composed of at least 18 species) to which Burkholderia cenocepacia belongs. Using the search terms burkholderia cenocepacia genome sequence BCC led to 25 results (genome paper appeared as the second result); BCC was effective in filtering the results.
• Google Scholar was opened up and the search query burkholderia cenocepacia sequenced genome was used, this search led to

Transcription profiling by array of tobramycin tolerance in Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 biofilms Transcription profiling by array of Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 was exposed to heat stress and to stress form reactive oxygen species
