bacteria of the species Burkholderia cenocepacia
are mainly found on plants and their roots.
According to the website of the
pharmaceutical company InfectoPharm
, the pathogens of the Burkholderia cepacia complex, to which the bacteria found belong, are “dangerous for people whose body defenses only function to a limited extent” and can possibly lead to
“life-threatening pneumonia”
.
Especially in cystic fibrosis patients, the bacterium detected in the baby oil therefore causes
“a significantly shorter survival time”.
