Misidentification of Pandoraea sputorum isolated from sputum of a patient with cystic fibrosis and review of Pandoraea species infections in transplant patients.
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.
