title: Bordetella petrii recovered from chronic pansinusitis in an adult with cystic fibrosis.
abstract: To date Bordetella petrii has infrequently been identified within the clinical setting likely due to the asaccharolytic nature of this organism. We present a case of B. petrii recovered on two separate events in a patient with adult cystic fibrosis experiencing chronic pansinusitis.
