Abstract

  • Synergy testing of levofloxacin and meropenem by Etest and time-kill assay (TKA) was performed against 30 genetically unique clinical Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates. Synergy was demonstrated in 18/30 (60%) isolates by Etest and in 13/30 (43%) by TKA; the remaining isolates were indifferent. Methods showed agreement for 25/30 (83%) of isolates.
