PFGE homology analysis of selected B. cepacia isolates. Isolates B1, B2, and B3 were recovered from anesthetic gel (20180701). Isolate B12 was recovered from a patient that acquired infection outside the hospital. The remaining 20 B. cepacia isolates were recovered from blood or urine samples from nosocomial UTI inpatients. Isolates B10 and B18 were both recovered from patients with bladder tumors accepted cystoscopy in the outpatient cystoscope room, and were detected by urine culture within 24 h of admission, corresponding to 15 and 65 days after cystoscopy, respectively. B17 was recovered from a patient with a ureter tumor who was diagnosed with B. cepacia infection 1 day after cystoscopy
