Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia

Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia Infection

Clinical data were analyzed as to predisposing factors, clinical presentation, antibiotic susceptibility, treatment selection, and clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Median age at presentation was 65 years (range, 16-98). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Intravenous Administration

    Based on these findings, we diagnosed the infant as having a complex UTI and started the intravenous administration of piperacillin/tazobactam. After 2 days, a urine culture showed Gram-negative bacilli (107 CFU/mL). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Rigor

    Infection control measures should be rigorously adopted for the control of such nosocomial bacteria. KEYWORDS: Asia; bacterial infection; disease prevention [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hemoptysis

    Bronchial artery embolization was successful in controlling the hemoptysis; however, the infection proved fatal despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Corneal Infiltrate

    The patient's corneal infiltrate was successfully cultured and a rare ocular organism identified. The patient's presentation and course and the response to empiric treatment are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Conjunctival Hyperemia

    A 51-year-old white man presented with worsening light sensitivity, localized conjunctival hyperemia, and a painful scleral nodule in his right eye that developed over a period of 1 month after minor ocular trauma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Myopathy

    It is postulated that subclinical myopathy, immunosuppression secondary to the malignancy, or chemotherapeutic drugs may predispose to pyomyositis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In patient with abnormal thoracic CT, it is sensible for us to carry out detailed workup focusing on the pulmonary system. [mrmjournal.biomedcentral.com]

S. maltophilia is resistance to most of routinely used antibiotic so this case highlights the importance of early detection and antibiotic sensitivity workup. [atmph.org]

Initial workup showed elevated troponin and procalcitonin. Chest X-ray findings were suggestive for left lower lobe pneumonia. [cureus.com]

  • Penicillium

    Pulmonary infection caused by the opportunistic organisms Penicillium marneffei and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in patients with Job's syndrome is rare and not well documented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Corynebacterium Diphtheriae

    Trends Microbiol 16 : 33 – 40. ( 1999 ) Cell surface hydrophobicity of sucrose fermenting and nonfermenting Corynebacterium diphtheriae strains evaluated by different methods. [academic.oup.com]

  • Liver Biopsy

    After repeated negative blood cultures, histological examinations of liver biopsies suggested the possibility of chronic melioidosis, but the microbiological examination performed directly on the same specimen identified a Stenotrophomonas maltophilia [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSIONS: Treatment failure did not differ between patients receiving trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole or minocycline monotherapy for treatment of S. maltophilia infections. The Author 2016. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These results suggest that more precise prediction and more appropriate treatment might improve the prognosis of patients with S. maltophilia bacteremia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The purpose of the present case report was to highlight this highly resistant microbe as an infectious etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

During the first year of renal replacement therapy, there were 3 episodes of peritonitis due to polymicrobial etiology, negative culture and Enterococcus faecalis, respectively. [revistanefrologia.com]

The epidemiology of the organism is considered with particular reference to nosocomial outbreaks, several of which have been investigated by molecular typing techniques. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • S maltophilia has few pathogenic mechanisms and, for this reason, predominantly results in colonization rather than infection. [slideshare.net]

Otherwise, the pathophysiology of this nonfermentative aerobic gram-negative bacillus does not differ from other nonfermentative aerobic organisms. Epidemiology Frequency United States S maltophilia is a noninvasive organism that has low virulence. [emedicine.medscape.com]

TNF-α signaling contributes significantly to the pathophysiology of S. maltophilia pneumonia, as reflected by the minimal disease observed in the TNFR1 null mice. [doi.org]

Removing the CVC and the combined antibiotics without preventing the neutrophil engraftment could avoid surgical drainage in pyomyositis due to S. maltophilia when detected in an early stage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
