Stenotrophomonas maltophilia causes high mortality rates, especially in bloodstream infections (BSIs) where there is a lack of comparative data with fluoroquinolones (FQs) and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SXT). The objective of this study was to evaluate outcomes in patients with S. maltophilia BSI who were treated with FQs versus SXT.
A retrospective study was conducted to compare FQs (levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin) versus SXT for the treatment of S. maltophilia BSI.
A total of 54 patients were included in this retrospective study, including 32 treated with SXT and 22 treated with FQs (11 ciprofloxacin, 5 levofloxacin and 6 moxifloxacin). There were 3 deaths (13.6%) in the FQ group versus 10 (31.3%) in the SXT group (P=0.20). Modified Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score [odds ratio (OR)=1.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1-1.8] and broad-spectrum antibiotics prior to culture (OR=8, 95% CI 1.3-49.8) were significant predictors of mortality.
Ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin and levofloxacin are possible alternatives to SXT for S. maltophilia BSI; however, further investigation is needed to confirm these findings.
嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌引起的死亡率很高,特别是在血流感染(BSI)中,与氟喹诺酮类药物(FQs)和磺胺甲噁唑/甲氧苄啶(SXT)相比,缺乏对照数据。本研究的目的是评估 FQs 与 SXT 治疗嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌 BSI 患者的结局。
进行了一项回顾性研究,比较了 FQs(左氧氟沙星、环丙沙星和莫西沙星)与 SXT 治疗嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌 BSI。
共有 54 例患者纳入本回顾性研究,其中 32 例接受 SXT 治疗,22 例接受 FQs(11 例环丙沙星、5 例左氧氟沙星和 6 例莫西沙星)治疗。FQs 组有 3 例死亡(13.6%),SXT 组有 10 例死亡(31.3%)(P=0.20)。改良急性生理学和慢性健康评估(APACHE)Ⅱ评分[比值比(OR)=1.4,95%置信区间(CI)1.1-1.8]和培养前使用广谱抗生素(OR=8,95%CI 1.3-49.8)是死亡的显著预测因素。
环丙沙星、莫西沙星和左氧氟沙星可能是 SXT 治疗嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌 BSI 的替代药物;然而,需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现。
