Therapeutic options for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections beyond co-trimoxazole: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen, causing infections whose management is often problematic due to its inherent resistance to many antibiotics, making co-trimoxazole the main therapeutic option. However, there are cases in which either due to antimicrobial resistance or allergic reactions and intolerance to co-trimoxazole this antibiotic ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Susceptibility of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Clinical Isolates from Blood Samples in Iran
Introduction: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a nosocomial multi drug resistant opportunistic pathogen which causes infections in vulnerable patients with cancer, cystic fibrosis and indwelling catheters. Methods: 45 clinical S. maltophilia isolates were collected from blood samples and identified by biochemical tests. Susceptibility to different antibiotics including co-trimoxazole, levofloxac...
متن کاملComparison of serum bactericidal activity of ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin and meropenem against Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
Sir, The emergence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia as a cause of life-threatening disease, particularly in severely immunocompromised patients, is becoming increasingly prominent. S. maltophilia is inherently resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents. A high-dose regimen of cotrimoxazole is the treatment of choice for this infection, but cotrimoxazole resistance has been documented. In additio...
متن کاملA Combination of Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and Ceftazidime Showed Good In Vitro Activity against Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
BACKGROUND Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen, capable of causing a wide spectrum of infections. Treatment is difficult because it is resistant to many antimicrobial agents, thus reducing the treatment options. The aims of this study were to describe the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and synergistic effect of selected antimicrobial combinations ...
متن کاملStenotrophomonas maltophilia in Salad
To the Editor: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen, especially in debilitated and immunocompro-mised persons (1). However, comparatively little is known of the epidemiology of this bacterium, and sources and routes of transmission of S. mal-tophilia are not well understood. The bacterium is widely distributed in the environment, including in plant rhi-zo...
