Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular epidemiology of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains responsible for respiratory infection in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Tunis City, isolated during 22 months (December 2003-September 2005). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve strains of S. maltophilia isolated from tracheal aspirates of distinct infants and two environmental strains were...
