Abstract
Background
Pandoraea sputorum (P. sputorum) is an uncommon opportunistic pathogen whose genomic and antimicrobial resistance features in pediatric bloodstream infection remain poorly understood. An unusual beta-lactam discordance (meropenem resistance with imipenem susceptibility) was recognized clinically but lacks a defined genomic basis.
