B. cepacia causes pneumonia in people with preexisting lung diseases and is intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics. Here we present a 55-year-old female with community acquired pneumonia developed colonization of B. cepecia. In our case we monitored her daily for the progression of illness and decided not to treat her. It posed a dilemma whether to treat or not to treat as there is not adequate data regarding management of B. cepacia infections.
