Antibiotic resistance among clinical isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia at a teaching hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
BACKGROUND Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has emerged as a significant pathogen in compromised patients, causing infections which are difficult to treat. This study was carried out to comprehend the recent trend of antimicrobial resistance among clinical isolates of S. maltophilia and suggest management guidance for patients in general and in our region in particular. METHODS A total of 222 cli...
متن کاملGenotypic and Phenotypic Characterization of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Strains from a Pediatric Tertiary Care Hospital in Serbia
BACKGROUND Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an environmental bacterium and an opportunistic pathogen usually associated with healthcare-associated infections, which has recently been recognized as a globally multi-drug resistant organism. The aim of this study was genotyping and physiological characterization of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolated in a large, tertiary care pediatric hospital i...
متن کاملAn epidemiological analysis of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains in a university hospital.
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the epidemiology of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in a university hospital of Turkey. From June 2000 to December 2001, S. maltophilia strains were collected, clinical presentations were noted, and MIC determinations were performed by means of E-test. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequences-PCR (ERIC-PCR) was used for molecular typin...
متن کاملHospital tap water as a source of stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection.
study, we stated that the presence of shock was evaluated " when the blood samples were obtained for culture (early shock) " [2, p. 194], which means before starting any antibiotic treatment. Under this condition , shock cannot vary by empirical therapy; thus, it should not be considered to be intermediate between the exposure to a given empirical antibiotic treatment (independent variable) and...
متن کاملCharacterization 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...
