ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the characteristics and drug resistance of pulmonary tuberculosis combined with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection.Methods The clinical data of 65 patients with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection were analyzed retrospectively.Results It showed that 65 strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia mainly came from sputum sample [75.4％(49/65)] and were highly resistant to many kinds of antimicrobial agents,of which the resistance rate to carbapenems,β-lactames was above 60％ and the sensitive rate to moxifloxacin,ethoprin-sulfamethoxazole and ticarcillin/clavulanic was above 70％.Conclusion Clinical practices should pay more attention to the high resistance of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection,which might result in pulmonary tuberculosis,and prescribe antibiotics rationally according to the drug sensitive test.
