Description
Summary:Emerging methods, which are not based on traditional phenotypic methods, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) are being validated before clinical application. [4],[5] Care should be taken while carrying out sensitivity testing of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia as non-standard culture methods (incubation at 30C) are required and false susceptibility readings have been reported with disc diffusion assays and the E-test.
