Abstract
We describe the recovery of Paenibacillus cineris from a Brazilian cystic fibrosis (CF) patient. Paenibacillus spp. are mainly environmental organisms. Although the role that these species play in lung disease is not known, we highlight the importance of careful attention to unusual bacteria from respiratory secretions of CF patients.
