Abstract

Aim: This study was planned to contribute to epidemiological data by determining from which clinical samples Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S.maltophilia) bacteria isolated in the microbiology laboratory were isolated, their distribution according to clinics and their susceptibility status. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out retrospectively from clinical specimens received by the Medical Microbiology Laboratory of Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Medical Faculty Hospital from various outpatient clinics and wards between January 2016 and September 2019. Results: Forty-five S. maltophilia strains isolated from clinical samples sent to the microbiology laboratory were included in the study. The highest number of bacteria were isolated from patients hospitalised in the ward. The most common comorbidity is malignancy. The most susceptible antibiotic was trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Conclusions: Due to increasing resistance rates, it is important to organise empirical treatment according to antibiogram results in infections in which S.maltophilia strains are identified as causative agents.
