“…This observation highlights the importance of clearly understanding the setting of where each study is performed prior to generalizing its results to other populations. S. maltophilia BSI is usually seen in cancer patients, especially those with haematogenous malignancies, neutropenia, central venous catheters, and those receiving broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents, particularly carbapenems [2831]. Cancer is much more prevalent in hospitalized patients at large tertiary-care centres that provide care for cancer patients, such as Mayo Medical Center, than in the general population.…”

“…Microbial populations, on the other hand, have evolved a variety of methods to combat these antimicrobial agents, which is a significant factor in the global spread of antimicrobial resistance. Sphingomonas paucimobilis is a common and adaptable human opportunistic pathogen that affects mortality and healthcare costs in both hospitals and the population [8]. Antibiotic resistance tests were conducted on Cefazolin, Ceftazidime, Ceftriaxone, Cefotaxime, Cefepime, Imipenem, Tobramycin, Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, and Trimethoprim from a total of 24 samples of Sphingomonas paucimobilis obtained in Erbil.…”

“…RODRIGUES A relação do uso dos betalactâmicos com o aumento da incidência de infecções por S. maltophilia ainda é assunto controverso na literatura. Em um estudo epidemiológico realizado no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (HC/FMUSP) no período de 1999 a 2006, com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito do uso de carbapenêmicos e cefalosporinas de quarta ou terceira geração (com ação antipseudomonas) e a associação dessas drogas ao aumento da incidência desse agente em infecções de corrente sanguínea, não foi observado aumento significativo na taxa de incidência (18) .…”
