In an attempt to further characterize infections due to Xanthomonas maltophilia (XM), we reviewed 50 case reports observed in our institution. XM is emerging as an important nosocomial pathogen in immunocompromised patients, especially those receiving broad spectrum antimicrobial antibiotherapy. Distinction between colonisation and infection is often difficult. XM presents a therapeutic challenge because of its tendency to exhibit multiple resistance.
为了进一步明确嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌（XM）所致感染的特征，我们回顾了在本机构观察到的50例病例报告。XM正成为免疫功能低下患者尤其是接受广谱抗菌药物治疗患者中的一种重要的医院病原体。区分定植与感染往往很困难。XM因其多重耐药倾向而带来了治疗挑战。
