Isolation of stenotrophomonas maltophilia from different clinical samples and detection of antibiotic resistance

In this study, swap materials were used from living and non-living sources from clinics. The samples were brought to Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Department of Microbiology, then isolation and identification steps were processed.In the study, 15 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia were isolated out of 347 cultures made from 264 patients. The agent were isolated from sputum, urine, wound, catater samples. According to antibiogram results, 12 (80 %) of the serotypes were resistant to amoxycillin-clavulanic asid, 15 (100 %) of the serotypes were resistant to carbenicillin, 11 (73.33 %) of the serotypes were resistant to cefaperazone, 10 (66.66 %) of the serotypes were resistant to cefuroxime, 14 (93.33 %) of the serotypes (66.66 %) of the serotypes were resistant to iminepem, 11(73.33 %) of the serotypes were resistant to piperacillin, 14 (93.33 %) of the serotypes were resistant to ticarcillin, 11 (73.33 %) of the serotypes were resistant to aztreonam, 15 (100 %) of the serotypes were resistant to ampicillin, 12 (80 %) of the serotypes were resistant to cephoxitin. 11 (73.33 %) of the serotypes were susceptible to trimethoprime-sulfamethoxazole, 14 (93.33 %) of the serotypes were susceptible to sulbactam-cefaperazone, 11 (73.33 %) of the serotypes were susceptible to amikacin, 15 (100 %) of the serotypes were susceptible to tigecycline.
