title: Misidentification of Pandoraea sputorum isolated from sputum of a patient with cystic fibrosis and review of Pandoraea species infections in transplant patients.
abstract: Pandoraea species are considered emerging pathogens in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, but few data exist regarding outcomes of patients colonized with these organisms. We report a case of Pandoraea sputorum colonization in a CF patient under consideration for lung transplantation and review five cases of lung transplantation involving Pandoraea species.
