Sputum culture positive for s/l fenaturfamonas - starstruck


Posted: Aug 25, 2010

In the lab section, this doc says, "Sputum culture positive for s/l fenaturfamonas."  Anyone here who can help a poor struggling MT out? (And, yes, I know we're *all* poor and struggling....)

Stenotrophomonas ??? - Annie

Maybe Stenotrophomonas


Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a gram-negative bacterium that has been cultured with increasing prevalence from the sputum of patients with cystic fibrosis

Annie, you rock! - starstruck

Thank you SO much! God only knows when I would have figured that one out (umm...never), so I am especially grateful that you took the time to help me. Thanks again!
