Abstract EN
Chronic airway colonization and infection are the hallmark of cystic fibrosis (CF).
Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Burkholderia cepacia are well-documented bacterial culprits in this chronic suppurative airway disease.
Advanced molecular diagnostics have uncovered a possible role of a larger group of microorganisms in CF.
Cedecea is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae and is an emerging pathogen.
We present a case of a polymicrobial healthcare-associated pneumonia in a CF patient caused by Cedecea davisae, among other bacteria.
