[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.

[0019] Example 2:
[0020] Burkholderia neonsis ( Burkholderia cenocepacia Preparation of suspension for Bcc621 (abbreviated as Bcc621): A sample of Burkholderia cepacia Bcc621 culture in the exponential growth phase was taken, centrifuged, washed once with PBS buffer, resuspended in PBS, and diluted to 10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / mL was used to obtain a Bcc621 bacterial suspension.
[0021] 1. K‒B susceptibility test for strain Bcc621
[0022] The experimental procedures for the K‒B antimicrobial susceptibility testing disk diffusion method should follow the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2020 guidelines. Prepare a bacterial suspension by picking a single colony of Bcc621 that has grown overnight from an LB agar plate, and adjust the concentration of the suspension to 1-2 × 10⁻⁶ using physiological saline. 8 CFU·mL -1 Inoculate with the bacterial suspension at the above concentration, dip a sterile cotton swab into the suspension, and spread it evenly on an MH agar plate. Place a drug sensitivity test disc flat in the center of the plate. Incubate at 37 ℃ for 16–18 h, and measure the diameter of the inhibition zone. Interpret the results according to CLSI 2020; the interpretation criteria are detailed in Table 1. The quality control strain used in this experiment was *Burkholderia neonsis* LMG18828.
