Stenotrophomonas maltophilia: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:24, 13 October 2020

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 15 mg/kg split q8h (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
