All strains except those indicated in footnote b below were derived from the B. cepacia complex strain panel where source and other data relevant to each are described (18). 

b

Data are numerical 16S rRNA RFLP types as indicated in Fig. 1

c

Letters correspond to alphabetical RFLP types as shown in Fig. 2A. 

d

Letters correspond to alphabetical RFLP types as shown in Fig. 2B. 

e

Strains not derived from the B. cepacia complex panel (18): J1050, isolated from non-CF patient within the U.K. and kindly provided by J. R. W. Govan; HI-2308, recovered from neonatal infection and kindly provided by J. J. LiPuma; C4455, recovered from a patient with CF (16); LMG 07000, recovered from a patient with septicaemia (20); LMG 14291, recovered from a patient with CF (20); and C2822, recovered from a patient with CF (16).
