Pandoraea spp. are increasingly reported as opportunistic pathogens in patients with cystic fibrosis, immunocompromised hosts, and critically ill individuals. These bacteria display intrinsic multidrug resistance, with frequent resistance to β-lactams, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones and polymyxins. Imipenem and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are the agents that most often retain activity, although clinical data remain limited and standardized susceptibility breakpoints are lacking.^[4]
