Abstract
During a 1-year study period, 96 strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia were isolated from different specimens of 59 patients admitted to a 1500 bed tertiary care university hospital. The strains were identified by commercially available API system and genotyped by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and random primer PCR fingerprinting. The wide variation of the molecular profiles of the investigated S. maltophilia isolates shown by PFGE as well as PCR typing suggests that there was no outbreak situation with a particular S. maltophilia strain.
