Synopsis: 
S maltophilia isolates were detected in four patients undergoing bronchoscopy during a one-week period. More attention should be paid to this microorganism as it can cause epidemics in intensive care units and operating theatres where invasive procedures take place. Appropriate disinfection procedures should be done and the staff should be continuously monitored and educated.
