title: Spondylodiscitis due to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
abstract: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an increasingly recognized cause of severe nosocomial infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. Community-acquired infections have also been reported. Spondylodiscitis due to S. maltophilia has only once before been described in the literature. We present a case of spondylodiscitis due to community-acquired S. maltophilia infection in a renal transplant recipient with liver cirrhosis.
