Characterization of Flagella Produced by Clinical Strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging nosocomial pathogen associated with opportunistic infections in patients with cystic fibrosis, cancer, and HIV. Adherence of this organism to abiotic surfaces such as medical implants and catheters represents a major risk for hospitalized patients. The adhesive surface factors involved in adherence of these bacteria are largely unknown, and their flag...
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 کاملMultilocus Sequence Typing for Clonality Analysis of Antimicrobial-Resistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Strains
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen and is being isolated worldwide with increasing frequency. S. maltophilia isolates are often highly resistant to most of the currently used antimicrobial agents, including carbapenems, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones. A variety of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, including efflux pumps and integrons, have been report...
متن کاملEffect of temperature on antimicrobial susceptibilities of Pseudomonas maltophilia.
After a case of peritonitis caused by Pseudomonas maltophilia had occurred 20 strains of the organism were investigated and the minimum inhibitory concentrations of a variety of antibiotics determined at 30 degrees C and 37 degrees C. There was a significant difference in susceptibility between 30 degrees C (most resistant) and 37 degrees C (most susceptible) for aminoglycosides and polymyxin B...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Resistance Pattern of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Isolates from a Tertiary Care Setting in Rawalpindi, Pakistan
Introduction: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is intrinsically resistant to many antimicrobials. Like Pseudomonas spp., this bacterium has a remarkable ability to cause infections, particularly in the respiratory and urinary tracts. This study aims to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern of S. maltophilia isolates collected from a tertiary care setting and frequency of multi, extensively...
