Abstract:
From 1999 to 2002, 62 isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophi were microbio-logically examined in laboratory of Cho Ray hospital. They were found to be internally 100% resistant to imipenem. 70% of isolates were sensitive to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, around 50% sensitive to piperacillin/tazobactam, ciprofloxacin and ceftazidime. Some clues for identifying these bacteria at present are also mentioned
