Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 Pat, you are absolutely right here. Bacterial contamination happens from time to time and the products have to be recalled then. The only exception is the use of B.cepacia as a biopesticide for crops. Trade name is Blue Circle and it's use is a constant point of discussion between the agrochemical industry and CF interest groups. The latest news I have found about this is from 4/2000: " Update on Bulkholderia Cepacia Products At the CF Foundation's urging, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has decided to reassess all registered products using Bulkholderia cepacia. EPA is also reviewing Scientific Advisory Panel findings from July 1999 questioning scientists' ability to determine if there are any strains of B. cepacia which cannot infect CF patients. The CF Foundation is pleased that Agrium, Inc., has withdrawn its application to EPA for approval of a pesticide using B. cepacia. Also, Stine Microbial Products has voluntarily relabeled its B. cepacia pesticide to limit usage to turf application, eliminating aerosol uses. " Hope this helps.
