VIA medium for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was modified by substituting meropenem (16 mg/L) for imipenem. S. maltophilia grew from 40% of drains sampled within a hospital and surrounding locations in Perth, Western Australia. The specificity of the new medium for S. maltophilia was 62%, and all contaminating bacteria were easily distinguishable by phenotypic tests and PCR.
嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌的VIA培养基通过用美罗培南(16毫克/升)替代亚胺培南进行了改良。在澳大利亚西部珀斯一家医院及其周边地区采集的引流液样本中,40%检测出嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌生长。新培养基对嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌的特异性为62%,所有污染细菌均可通过表型试验和聚合酶链反应轻松区分。
