Pneumonia Due to Bordetella bronchiseptica in a Cystic Fibrosis Patient: 16S rRNA Sequencing for Diagnosis Confirmation

Laboratoire de Bactériologie-Hygiène,¹ Département de Pneumologie, Hôpital A. Calmette, CHRU de Lille, Lille, France²

Received 3 December 2001/ Returned for modification 21 January 2002/ Accepted 12 February 2002

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.
