Abstract

Pandoraea species, in particular Pandoraea apista, are opportunistic, multidrug-resistant pathogens in persons with cystic fibrosis (CF). To aid in understanding the role of P. apista in CF lung disease, we used Illumina MiSeq and nanopore MinION technology to sequence the whole genome of the P. apista LMG 16407(T).
