Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a motile non-fermentative, gram negative bacillus that is readily isolated from environmental sources and water. It is an obligate aerobe, and is capable of growth between 5o and 40oC (18). S. maltophilia isolates from environmental and clinical sources represent a number of genomic groups, which may possibly be of clinical significance, although this remains to be established (13, 35, 37).
