RE: Different bacteria: Stenotrophomonas Maltrophilia

Deb, I'm not sure, but I took it to mean it colonizes in anything

liquid. . . it said, " it is a frequent colonizer of fluids used in the

hospital setting, ie, irrigation solutions and intravenous (IV)

fluids, and of patient secretions, ie, respiratory secretions, urine,

or wound exudates. "

HMMM? I am just trying to figure out where she could have gotten this

bacteria. We do have a Jacuzzi tub and I am thinking that maybe she got it

there. But I can't remember if she has even gotten in it since we were tested

last. Thanks for you help. Deb A
