Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is intrinsically resistant to many beta-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems, and is resistant to aminoglycosides, which limits the therapeutic repertoire for managing S. maltophilia infections. Additionally, employing automated susceptibility testing of S. maltophilia is challenging because commercial test systems' performance is limited (A. Khan, C. A. Arias, A. Abbott, J. Dien Bard, et al., J Clin Microbiol 59:e00654-21, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.00654-21). This commentary will briefly discuss the opportunity to use automated commercial susceptibility testing systems with S. maltophilia, with a focus on how to implement their use practically while mitigating risk of error.
嗜麦芽寡养单胞菌本质上对许多β-内酰胺类抗生素具有耐药性,包括碳青霉烯类,并且对氨基糖苷类药物具有耐药性,这限制了治疗嗜麦芽寡养单胞菌感染的治疗方案。此外,由于商业检测系统的性能有限,因此对嗜麦芽寡养单胞菌进行自动化药敏检测具有挑战性(A. Khan、C. A. Arias、A. Abbott、J. Dien Bard 等人,J Clin Microbiol 59:e00654-21,2021,https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.00654-21)。本评论将简要讨论使用嗜麦芽寡养单胞菌的自动化商业药敏检测系统的机会,重点讨论如何在实际应用中实施这些系统,同时降低出错风险。
