Association between Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and lung function in cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (SM) is a Gram-negative non-fermenting bacteria cultured from the sputum of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). To date, no information is available regarding the effect of this organism on lung function in CF. METHODS A cohort study was conducted to assess the effect of SM on lung function among CF patients aged > or =6 years in the CF Foundation Natio...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolated from cystic fibrosis patients.
We read with interest the recent study of Krzewinski and colleagues (2). However, we wish to clarify some issues in relation to our own work (1), to which they refer. They suggested that we had found a genotype of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients that was distinct from those isolated from other patient groups or from the environment. This is not our interpretation o...
متن کاملStenotrophomonas maltophilia in cystic fibrosis: serologic response and effect on lung disease.
RATIONALE Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is one of the more common multidrug-resistant organisms isolated from the respiratory tract of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), but the effect of chronic S. maltophilia infection on CF lung disease is unknown. OBJECTIVES To determine the impact of chronic S. maltophilia infection on lung disease in CF. METHODS We developed a serologic assay specific...
متن کاملPersistence and variability of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in cystic fibrosis patients, Madrid, 1991-1998.
During 1991 to 1998 at least one Stenotrophomonas maltophilia pulmonary infection was observed in 25 (24%) of 104 cystic fibrosis patients at the same unit of our hospital in Spain. Ribotyping and pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) characterization of 76 S. maltophilia isolates from these patients indicated an overall clonal incidence of 47.1%, reflecting new strains in 44% of patients with...
متن کاملGenotype and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolated from cystic fibrosis patients.
The purpose of this study was to type the Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates recovered from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of these strains. P. aeruginosa (n=49), and S. maltophilia (n=11) isolates which had been recovered from 16 and 8 patients, respectively, during a 1-ye...
