The deposit date is December 17, 2025, and the accession number is GDMCC No: 67496.

[0004] This invention demonstrates through experiments that *Burkholderia neonata* (…) Burkholderia cenocepacia Bcc621 is resistant to Kathon, phenoxyethanol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate and 1,3-dihydroxymethyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoin.

[0005] Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a new preservative-resistant Burkholderia cepacia strain (… Burkholderia cenocepacia )Bcc621.

[0006] A second objective of this invention is to provide a microbial inoculant containing Burkholderia neonta Bcc621.

[0007] A third objective of this invention is to provide the application of the aforementioned novel Burkholderia cepacia Bcc621 in the study of bacterial resistance mechanisms.

[0008] A fourth objective of this invention is to provide the application of the aforementioned *Burkholderia cepacia* Bcc621 in screening preservatives against *Burkholderia cepacia*.

[0009] Preferably, the screening uses Burkholderia neonavicularis Bcc621 as the model strain for screening against Burkholderia neonavicularis preservatives.

[0010] Preferably, the screening involves preparing the drug to be tested into a drug sensitivity test disc and determining its minimum inhibitory concentration against Burkholderia cepacia Bcc621.

[0011] Preferably, the preservative is Kathon, phenoxyethanol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, or 1,3-dihydroxymethyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoin.

[0012] This invention, through Kirby-Bauer (K-B) susceptibility testing, revealed that *Burkholderia neonavi* Bcc621 is resistant to Kathon, phenoxyethanol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, and 1,3-dimethylol-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, with inhibition zone diameters of 11.88, 14.54, 9.51, 11.55, and 13.22 mm, respectively. Therefore, *Burkholderia neonavi* Bcc621 can be used for resistance research and the development of novel antibacterial agents.

[0013] Burkholderia cenocepacia Bcc621 is deposited at the Guangdong Provincial Microbial Culture Collection Center (GDMCC), located at 5th Floor, Building 59, No. 100 Xianlie Middle Road, Guangzhou, 510070, China.
