During the 10-year period ending March 1976, 128 (8.5%) of 1506 strains of Gram-negative non-fermentative bacteria submitted to the National Collection of Type Cultures for computer-assisted identification have been strains of Pseudomonas maltophilia. These figures suggest that Ps. maltophilia is both a relatively common species in clinical material in the United Kingdom and also that many laboratories experience difficulty in identifying this species. We report the sources from which our strains were isolated and also characteristics of the species by which it may be recognised. The clinical significance of Ps maltophilia is discussed and also the susceptibility of this species to certain antimicrobial agents.
在截至1976年3月的10年期间,提交给国家典型培养物保藏中心进行计算机辅助鉴定的1506株革兰氏阴性非发酵菌中,有128株(8.5%)为嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌。这些数据表明,嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌在英国临床材料中是一种相对常见的菌种,而且许多实验室在鉴定该菌种时都遇到困难。我们报告了分离出我们这些菌株的来源以及该菌种可被识别的特征。讨论了嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌的临床意义以及该菌种对某些抗菌药物的敏感性。
