“…Important risk factors for S. maltophilia infection include prolonged hospital stay, long usage of broad spectrum antibiotics and the presence of in-dwelling central venous catheters. 1,11 These were not present in our patients who were not immunocompromised. All organisms were susceptible to quinolones, which we used successfully, although mortality rates of 0–38% have been reported.…”

“…An association of this organism in outbreaks of bacteraemia and neonatal sepsis has been reported in various studies. 1,8,9 Clinical manifestation of sepsis is usually non-specific in neonates and infants, and since the actual source of the sepsis could not be readily identified, the distinction between true septicaemia or cross-contamination was difficult. 4,10…”

“…Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ( S. maltophilia ) was classified as Pseudomonas maltophilia , then Xanthomonas maltophilia , and finally as S. maltophilia . 1,2 These are found in aquatic environments, in a hospital setting. S. maltophilia adheres to plastic surfaces and forms a biofilm which explains its survival.…”

“…S. maltophilia adheres to plastic surfaces and forms a biofilm which explains its survival. 1 It causes lung, urinary tract, intra-abdominal, meningeal, ocular and blood stream infections. 3 Moreover, this bacteria is associated with opportunistic nosocomial infections in patients, especially those who are immunocompromised or debilitated.…”

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia causing blood stream infection in neonates and infants: a cause for concern

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ( S. maltophilia) is an important Gram-negative, non-fermentative, multidrug resistant (MDR) nosocomial organism. We evaluated the isolation of S. maltophilia from the seven blood culture specimens received from the Paediatric Emergency Department (PED) of BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS) over the duration of two weeks. The suspicion of a possible outbreak was raised and the hospital infection control team investigated the source and found the hand of one healthcare provider harbouring a similar organism. All six steps of hand hygiene were subsequently strictly enforced after which the same bacteria were no longer isolated. Infection control measures should be rigorously adopted for the control of such nosocomial bacteria.

“…There were two case reports of S. maltophilia in EOS from Kolkata, India, both of which were for premature baby girls with a six-hour membrane rupture during their delivery (25). In a case report by Laxman Basny in 2015, S. maltophilia was detected as the causative agent of neonatal sepsis (26). S. maltophilia attaches easily to plastic surfaces and forms a biofilm that can be the reason for its high prevalence in hospitals (27).…”

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of neonatal sepsis with a focus on antibiotic resistance and the frequency of the bla CTX-M-15 OXA-48 genes in Gram-negative isolates. Materials and Methods: A total of 108 Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) and 153 peripheral blood samples were cultured via BACTEC from May 2017 to June 2018. The bacterial isolates were identified using phenotypic and genotypic analyses. The antibiotic susceptibility profile of the isolates was determined by disk diffusion. PCR was used to determine the frequency of β-lactamase genes. Results: Among the 153 infants, 21 (13.7%) proved positive for sepsis. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the most frequent isolates in the peripheral blood cultures. E. coli and Stenotrophomonas malto- philia were isolated from two UCB cultures. The highest resistance among the Gram-positive strains was to cefixime, ceftri- axone, cefotaxime and clindamycin. In the Gram-negative bacteria the highest rates of resistance were to ampicillin (91.7%). The frequency of bla CTX-M-15 genes was 25% and 50%, respectively. Conclusion: The high antibiotic resistance among the isolates reveals the importance of monitoring antibiotic consumption and improving control standards in the health care system, especially in neonatal wards.
