Distribution and Drug Sensitivity of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in Hospital 2007-2008 / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and drug sensitivity.METHODS A total of 194 strains of S.maltophilia were isolated from patients,during the period of Jan 2007 to Sep 2008,the antibiotic susceptibility was tested to 20 kinds of antibiotics.RESULTS The antibiotic resistance of S.maltophilia to Imipenem,tetracycline,cefotaxime and aztreonam were up to 90.00%,to gentamicin,meropenem and tobramycin were up to 80.00%,to cefoperazonel sulbactam(Sulperazone)was 10.3% and to minocycline was 1.55%.CONCLUSIONS S.maltophilia isolated from our hospital shows high resistance to several kinds of antibiotics.The drugs should be choosed reasonably according to their antibiotic suscepitibity results,such as cefoperazonel sulbactam and minocycline.
