“…The isolation of a Stenotrophomonas species, while infrequent, requires special attention, as it is sensitive to only a few antimicrobial agents ( 388 , 389 ). Recent treatment with carbapenems, fluoroquinolones, or third- or fourth-generation cephalosporins usually precedes Stenotrophomonas infections.…”

“…Recent treatment with carbapenems, fluoroquinolones, or third- or fourth-generation cephalosporins usually precedes Stenotrophomonas infections. Based on limited observational data, therapy with 2 antibiotics for 3 to 4 weeks is recommended ( 388 , 389 ). If the isolate is sensitive to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, this agent should be included in the regimen.…”

“…S. maltophilia is known to cause infection via invasive medical devices such as central venous catheters,5 chronic indwelling urinary catheters, endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes,6 and peritoneal catheters,2 by which the organism bypasses normal host defenses and causes nosocomial outbreaks of infection. Persons often come in contact with S. maltophilia through environmental water sources, including hospital tap water or faucets, dialysis machines, nebulizers, showerheads, deiodinized water dispensers, and ice machines 7, 8…”

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is typically a low‐virulence gram‐negative bacterium but can become pathogenic in patients in immunocompromised states and can cause nosocomial infections in the presence of invasive medical devices such as central venous catheters, peritoneal catheters, endotracheal/tracheostomy tubes, and urinary catheters, resulting in a variety of infections. End‐stage renal disease patients are immunocompromised, and S. maltophilia bacteremia has been reported in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis via peritoneal catheters. A significant number of patients receive hemodialysis via central venous catheters, which present a high risk for S. maltophilia infection, but to our knowledge, no case has been reported.
