dc.description.abstractBackground: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, is a nonfermentative, aerobic, Gram-negative bacilli which is intrinsically resistance to several antibiotics. Treatment options for this bacteria are quite different from the other Gram-negative bacilli, which can represent a therapeutic challenge. To initiate appropriate empiric treatment and to reduce mortality, differentiation of S. maltophilia from other Gram-negative bacteria is critically important. The aim of this study is to distinguish the risk factors of S. maltophilia blood stream infections (BSI) from other Gram-negative BSI. Methods: This was a retrospective, case-control study. Patients with S. maltophilia BSI were selected as cases and patients with non-S. maltophilia Gram-negative BSI were selected as controls. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were recorded. Results: Forty-eight cases with S. maltophilia BSI and 144 controls were enrolled in the study. Risk factors for S. maltophilia BSI compared with the control group includes prior use of antibiotics, especially carbapenem, pediatric intensive care unit stay, mechanical ventilator use, indwelling catheters and duration of hospitalization. Conclusions: Breakthrough infection by S. maltophilia can occur in severely ill patients being treated with carbapenem. In the presence of risk factors, to reduce morbidity and mortality, S. maltophilia should be kept in mind when starting empiric treatment.en_US
