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 hospital's

clinical laboratory. This method appears to be a useful approach for

identifying new emerging CF pathogens when discrepancies exist between

phenotypical tests ...
