Abstract
We describe the first known case of pneumonia caused by a mucoid Steno trophomonas maltophilia (Xanthomonas maltophilia) strain in a patient with bronchiectasis. The patient was admitted because of mild hemoptys is sis and productive cough with infiltrative shadow in the right lowe r lung field on chest X ray. The clinical symptoms were mild, and trea tment with minocycline was effective.
