Pandoraea apista is a Gram-negative, catalase-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming, motile bacterium with a single polar flagellum, of the genus Pandoraea.[3][4][5] The Strain CCUG 38412 was isolated from the sputum of a cystic fibrosis patient in Denmark.[6] Pandoraea apista can cause lung disease, such as chronic lung infections, in patients who suffer from cystic fibrosis.[7][8][9]
