Class 1 integrons increase trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole MICs against epidemiologically unrelated Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates.
Twenty-five plasmid-specified antimicrobial resistance determinants common to gram-negative bacilli from nosocomial infection were investigated from 31 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates. Twenty-four clones were identified by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and in three clones that exhibited an increased trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole MIC, the sul1 determinant was found. These results suppo...
متن کاملTrimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in the treatment of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia osteomyelitis.
in 99 patients (79%) who received ribavirin for HCPS, and 26 (21%) required blood transfusions. Three subjects were withdrawn from the study because of pancreatitis. Although we agree that it can be difficult to obtain larger sample sizes in studies of rare infectious diseases (as evidenced by the low enrollment rate in the study of HCPS by Mertz et al. [1]), one should be clear about the limit...

متن کاملIn vitro killing effect of moxifloxacin on clinical isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
The time-kill effect of moxifloxacin on 20 genetically distinct isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was studied. The majority (80%) were killed by a concentration equivalent to four times the MIC; the MIC induced a transient decrease in bacterial counts at 4 h, followed by regrowth. No effect was detected in four isolates. These results merit furt...
متن کاملTemperature, pH and Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole Are Potent Inhibitors of Biofilm Formation by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Clinical Isolates.
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, an opportunistic pathogen usually connected with healthcare-associated infections, is an environmental bacterium. Intrinsic resistance to multiple antibiotics, with different virulence determinants in the last decade classified this bacterium in the group of global multiple drug resistant (MDR) organism. S. maltophilia clinical isolates, were collected from tertiar...
