Microbiological and clinical aspects of infection associated with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
The gram-negative bacterium Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is increasingly recognized as an important cause of nosocomial infection. Infection occurs principally, but not exclusively, in debilitated and immunosuppressed individuals. Management of S. maltophilia-associated infection is problematic because many strains of the bacterium manifest resistance to multiple antibiotics. These difficulties...

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...
متن کاملStenotrophomonas maltophilia: an emerging global opportunistic pathogen.
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging multidrug-resistant global opportunistic pathogen. The increasing incidence of nosocomial and community-acquired S. maltophilia infections is of particular concern for immunocompromised individuals, as this bacterial pathogen is associated with a significant fatality/case ratio. S. maltophilia is an environmental bacterium found in aqueous habitats, i...
متن کاملReassessment of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia phenotype.
Standard microbiology references describe Stenotrophomonas maltophilia as oxidase negative and variable with respect to utilization of lactose and sucrose. Analysis of a collection of 766 S. maltophilia isolates indicated that approximately 20% are oxidase positive and that this species should be reevaluated for other phenotypes, including oxidative fermentation of lactose and sucrose.
متن کاملAn Outbreak of Meningitis Associated with E.c.h.o. Virus Type 9.
This paper describes an outbreak of aseptic meningitis associated with E.C.H.O virus type 9 among members of the Royal Air Force and their families stationed in western Germany in 1961. There was a total of 44 cases. Epistaxis occurred in eight cases and in 16 there was a rash.
