Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a commonly found environmental bacterium that is associated with the plant rhizosphere. It shows increasing prevalence in immunocompromised patients. We report a simple method for selective isolation of S. maltophilia from soils which makes use of both its resistance to imipenem and its requirement for methionine.
