Background
Microbiology
- Aerobic, non-fermentive, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, Gram-negative bacillus
- Multiple mechanisms of resistance
- RND, MfsA, and Sme-related efflux pumps
- Sul or dfrA genes (TMP-SMX resistance)
- β-lactamases
- Aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes
Clinical Manifestations
- Nosocomial infections with high mortality and high antibiotic resistance
Management
- Limited antibiotic options
- Therapy should be guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing
- Antistenotrophomonal antibiotics:
- TMP-SMX (preferred agent, if susceptible)
- Fluoroquinolones, including moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin (though develops resistance quickly on monotherapy)
- Minocycline, doxycycline, and tigecycline
- Ticarcillin-clavulanate and ampicillin-sulbactam
- Ceftazidime and ceftazidime-avibactam
- Colistin, though high rates of resistance
- Possibly ceftriaxone
