Pneumonia Due toBordetella bronchisepticain a Cystic Fibrosis Patient: 16S rRNA Sequencing for Diagnosis Confirmation

Abstract
Bordetella bronchiseptica was identified as an unusual etiologic agent of pulmonary recurrent exacerbations and pneumonia in a cystic fibrosis (CF) patient by utilizing a 16S rRNA molecular kit in our hospital9s clinical laboratory. This method appears to be a useful approach for identifying new emerging CF pathogens when discrepancies exist between phenotypical tests.
