  • Title: Identification of respiratory isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia by commercial biochemical systems and species-specific PCR.
    Author: Giordano A, Magni A, Trancassini M, Varesi P, Turner R, Mancini C.
    Journal: J Microbiol Methods; 2006 Jan; 64(1):135-8. PubMed ID: 15927289.
    Abstract:
    One hundred strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates from respiratory specimens were biochemically identified using the API 20NE strip and the VITEK2 ID-GNB card. The identification was confirmed by a species-specific PCR using two primers specific for the 23S rRNA gene. The API 20NE showed only 1 strain with "low discrimination" whereas the VITEK2 gave 12. In any case, the two biochemical systems showed good reliability compared to SS-PCR.
