Type and reference strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Stenotrophomonas africana were compared with each other and with the type strains of other Stenotrophomonas species, using SDS-PAGE of whole-cell proteins, DNA–DNA hybridization and extensive biochemical characterization. S. maltophilia LMG 958T and S. africana LMG 22072T had very similar whole-cell-protein patterns and were also biochemically very similar. A DNA–DNA binding level of 70 % between both type strains confirmed that S. africana and S. maltophilia represent the same taxon. It is concluded that S. africana is a later synonym of S. maltophilia.
