A xylosoxidans is being recognized as an important nosocomial pathogen. As more patients are rendered immunosuppressed by chemotherapy, this organism's increasing role in hospital-acquired infections will be assured. Achromobacter is a water-borne organism, highly resistant to most antibiotics, and even to some disinfectant solutions, and easily establishes itself in the hospital aquatic environment. Achromobacter infections and outbreaks should be recognized and approached as serious problems requiring the institution of appropriate infection control measures. A xylosoxidans infections should be empirically treated with a combination of a third generation cephalosporin and TMP-SMX pending susceptibility testing.
木糖氧化无色杆菌正被视为一种重要的医院病原体。随着越来越多的患者因化疗而免疫抑制，这种微生物在医院获得性感染中日益重要的作用将得到确证。无色杆菌是一种水生微生物，对大多数抗生素甚至一些消毒剂溶液具有高度抗性，并很容易在医院的水生环境中定殖。应将无色杆菌感染和暴发视为严重问题，需要采取适当的感染控制措施。在进行药敏试验之前，木糖氧化无色杆菌感染应经验性地用第三代头孢菌素和复方磺胺甲恶唑联合治疗。
