Ok, what's the verdict, is S.maltophilia areobic or anareobic?  Is it
gram-negative, or gram-positive?  Can you find a reliable website on
Stenotrophomas maltophilia?

Hello spark72-ga,

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is aerobic and gram-negative.  Here are
two pages from apparently reliable web sites which state this fact,
among others.

"Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia", by Burke A Cunha, MD (Last Updated:
June 24, 2002)
eMedicine
http://www.emedicine.com/med/byname/stenotrophomonas-maltophilia.htm

"Clinical Review: Management of Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia
Infection", by Penny Skaehill (January 2000, modified 03/10/00)
American Society of Consultant Pharmacists
http://www.ascp.com/public/pubs/tcp/2000/jan/cr_manage.shtml

If these pages do not suit your needs, you can choose from other web
pages from the relevant Google search:

'Searched the web for "stenotrophomonas maltophilia" gram aerobic'
Google
://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&q=%22stenotrophomonas+maltophilia%22+gram+aerobic&btnG=Google+Search

[Note: I also searched for "stenotrophomas maltophilia" and "s
maltophilia"; these searches led me to the correct spelling.  Searches
inclduing "anaerobic" suggested that it is not, in fact, anaerobic.]

I hope that this information is helpful.
