Emerging cystic fibrosis pathogens: incidence and antimicrobial resistance
No full textWe examined the frequeney of isolation and the antimicrobial resistance of Burkholderia cepacia complex, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Achromobacter xylosoxidans in cystic fibrosis patients from 2000 to 2004. Strains susceptibility to tobramycin, piperacillin/tazobactam, imipenem, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin and ceftazidime was determined by disc diffusion assay. B.cepacia complex showed a very high resistance also to ciprofloxacin reaching 100% in 2004. S.maltophilia and A.xylosoxidous showed high rates of antimicrobial resistance both aminoglycoside and ciprofloxacin. It is very important to monitor the percentage of isolation of these species over time to verify strains resistance to antibiotics and also to test new, combinations of antimicrobial agents
Identification of respiratory isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia by commercial biochemical system and species-specific PCR
No full textOne hundred strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates from respiratory specimens were biochemically identified using the API 20NE strip and the VITEK2 ID-GNB card. The identification was confirmed by a species-specific PCR using two primers specific for the 23S rRNA gene. The API 20NE showed only 1 strain with "low discrimination" whereas the VITEK2 gave 12. In any case, the two biochemical systems showed good reliability compared to SS-PCR
