ABSTRACT
The
Stenotrophomona maltophilia Gram negative bacteria, that was considered like of limited pathogenicity, at the moment, is associated to an increase in morbi-mortality. Its presence represents a great problem due to its multiresistance.
Objective: To identify sensitivity to antibiotics of the
Stenotrophomona maltophilia in the Unit of Intensive Therapy.
Patients and methods: It is a retrospective study of a series of cases, made in We have of the CMNO of the IMSS of Guadalajara, Jalisco. The files and report of cultures were reviewed during the period of the January of the 2003 until August of the 2006. Sensitivity was described the antimicrobial, reported in the final result of the culture.
Results: 66 positive cultures for
Stenotrophomona maltophilia were identified, 55 of aspired bronchial, 5 hemocultures, 3 of abdominal secretion, 2 of venous catheters. Single 2 antibiotics showed good sensitivity, the Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (90%) and the Ofloxacina (84%).
Conclusion: The inhaled culture of bronchial (83%) was most frequent. It was demonstrated the multiresistance of this bacterium, to antimicrobial of frequent use.
