Resistant Pathogen in Chronic Otitis Media: Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia

This case is presented in order to research the role of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains that come into prominence gradually in especially nosocomial infections and infections that show multiresistance development and thus to present the resistance situation to antibiotics

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯

Objective & Hypothesis:Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an aerobe, non-fermentative Gram negative basil which can cause resistant nosocomial infections.

Abstract

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an aerobe, non-fermentative Gram negative basil which can cause resistant nosocomial infections. S. maltophilia is more resistant rather than many antibiotics due to its genes which code enzymes and active pumps which inactivate betalactamase, aminoglycoside acetyl transferase and erythromycin. Thus, several resistance problems occur in treatment. In our case, in the right ear culture of 52 years old female patient who has flix and hearing loss in both of her ears for 8 years; resistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was isolated. This case is presented in order to research the role of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains that come into prominence gradually in especially nosocomial infections and infections that show multiresistance development and thus to present the resistance situation to antibiotics

Özet

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia dirençli nazokomial enfeksiyonlara neden olabilen aerob, nonfermantatif Gram negatif bir basildir. Beta-laktamaz, aminoglikozit asetil transferaz ve eritromisini inaktive eden enzimleri ve aktif pompaları kodlayan genleri nedeni ile S. maltophilia birçok antibiyotiğe intrensek olarak dirençlidir. Bu nedenle tedavide birçok direnç sorunuyla karşılaşılmaktadır. Olgumuzda 8 yıldır her iki kulağında akıntı ve işitme kaybı olan 52 yaşındaki bayan hastanın yapılan sağ kulak kültüründe dirençli Stenotrophomonas maltophilia izole edildi. Bu olgu çoğul direnç gelişimi gösteren ve özellikle nozokomiyal enfeksiyonlarda giderek ön plana çıkan Stenotrophomonas maltophilia suşlarının, nozokomiyal infeksiyonlardaki rolünü araştırmak ve antibiyotiklere direnç durumunu ortaya koymak amacıyla sunulmuştur
