“…In domestic animals, there are only a few reports dealing explicitly with S. maltophilia infection. These have detailed the isolation of the bacterium from the airways of patients with chronic respiratory disease (dog, cat, horse) (Albini et al 2009;Winther et al 2010 …”

“…A member of the gamma proteobacteria, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is naturally found in the soil, the rhizosphere of plants, as an endoparasite of amoebae, or as a pathogen of vertebrates including fish, reptiles, and mammals (Albini, Abril, Franchini, Hussy, & Filioussis, 2009; Berg, Marten, & Ballin, 1996; Chen, Yang, Hu, & Liu, 2011; Corsaro, Muller, & Michel, 2013; Di Gregorio, Lampis, & Vallini, 2005; Furushita, Okamoto, Maeda, Ohta, & Shiba, 2005; Garbeva, Van Overbeek, Van Vuurde, & Van Elsas, 2001; Harris & Rodgers, 2001; Kralova-Kovarikova, Husnik, Honzak, Kohout, & Fictum, 2012; Petridou, Filioussis, Karavanis, & Kritas, 2010; Rocco, De Gregorio, Colonna, & Di Nocera, 2009; Winther, Andersen, Baptiste, Aalbæk, & Guardabassi, 2010; Zhu et al, 2013). In humans, Sm is emerging as a significant cause of concern for clinicians (Gaynes & Edwards, 2005; Jones, 2010; Kim et al, 2014; Pathmanathan & Waterer, 2005; Timsit, Zahar, & Chevret, 2011; Weber et al, 2007).…”

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a Gram‐negative, aerobic, motile, environmental bacterium that is emerging as an important nosocomial pathogen with high rates of attributable mortality in severely ill patients. S. maltophilia is of particular concern to patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) as it has been shown to colonize airway epithelial and establish a chronic infection. Here we describe several molecular techniques for the genetic manipulation of this bacterium, including DNA extraction, RNA extraction, conjugation of plasmids from Escherichia coli and allelic exchange. © 2015 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…Neutropenie, die Anwendung zentralvenöser Katheter oder ein langer Krankenhausaufenthalt genannt (Winther et al 2010). Da das Bakterium auch an Plastikteilen anhaftet, muss eine Kontamination von Venenkathetern, Inhalationsmasken undschläuchen oder Endoskopen in Betracht gezogen werden (Albini et al 2009 (Winther et al 2010). Da die Fälle in der vorliegenden Arbeit retrospektiv ausgewertet wurden, war dies nicht mehr möglich.…”

ZusammenfassungStenotrophomonas maltophilia ist ein gramnegatives Stäbchen, das in der Humanmedizin seit Längerem als primäres Pathogen bekannt und wegen seiner natürlichen Resistenz gegenüber zahlreichen Antibiotika gefürchtet ist. In der veterinärmedizinischen Literatur wurde es kürzlich mit chronischen Atemwegserkrankungen des Pferdes in Zusammenhang gebracht (Albini et al., 2009 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, a gram -negative rod, is an important emerging nosocomial agent and primary pathogen in human patients. Treatment has proven to be difficult due to natural resistances against a wide range of common antibiotics. Recently, Albini and co-workers (2009) described an association between chronic respiratory diseases in horses and infections with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. To our current knowledge, no reports about Stenotrophomonas maltophilia as a causative agent of non -respiratory infections in the horse were published to date. This paper describes two equine cases of bacterial infections where Stenotrophomonas maltophilia could be isolated in pure culture. One horse, a multiparous mare, presented with bacterial cystitis and responded well to a ten day course of antibiotics without relapse. The other horse, a polo pony, was diagnosed with advanced bacterial endocarditis of the pulmonary valve. The large vegetations led to stenosis with concurrent cor pulmonale and the horse died within a few hours after admission. The pathological examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis and revealed additional metastatic pneumonia and lung abscesses due to embolisation. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was isolated from the large vegetations, while the lung abscesses produced no bacterial growth. Despite a recommendation of tetracyclines and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole as drugs of choice against infections with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, in both of our cases the germ was resistant against these antibiotics, but susceptible to marbofloxacin. In summary in horses Stenotrophomonas maltophilia should be taken into account even as a causative pathogenic agent of multiresistant bacterial infections in horses.
