Cedecea davisae’s Role in a Polymicrobial Lung Infection in a Cystic Fibrosis Patient

Cedecea davisae’s Role in a Polymicrobial Lung Infection in a Cystic Fibrosis Patient

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...
