- |||||||||| Clinical Correlation and Antibiotic Sensitivity Profile of Clinical Strains of Novel Species Stenotrophomonas Sepilia (Exhibit and Poster Hall) - May 21, 2022 - Abstract #ASMMicrobe2022ASM_Microbe_1982;
S. sepilia has significant clinical correlation with bloodstream infections and warrants serious measuresfor the management of infected patients. Microbiologists and clinicians should be aware of thisemerging pathogenic species of genus Stenotrophomonas for its rapid identification and to provide adirected antibiotic therapy and avoid unnecessary antibiotic usage and in turn the emergence ofresistance.

Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia from Patients with and without Cf (Exhibit and Poster Hall) - May 21, 2022 - Abstract #ASMMicrobe2022ASM_Microbe_1816; These differences could be due to the adaptation of Sm to the selective pressure of the CF lungs and would contribute to its persistence. The detection of 27.6% of CF isolates resistant to TMS is clinically relevant since it is the drug of choice for Sm treatment.

Topical Antibiotic Treatment Prevented Amputation of a Leg Injury Caused by Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Staphylococcus Aureus (Exhibit and Poster Hall) - May 21, 2022 - Abstract #ASMMicrobe2022ASM_Microbe_1713; The detection of 27.6% of CF isolates resistant to TMS is clinically relevant since it is the drug of choice for Sm treatment. Initial and follow-ups of culture and AST are necessary in open wounds to find out which precise antibiotic treatment would be given. The use of an appropriate topical antibiotic applied in the injury, and oral, intravenous or intramuscular doses, if needed, are recommended. That would prevent harmful effects caused by just performing one-time AST and definitely try not do empiric therapy. A precise antibiotic treatment tends to improve the quality of life in patients. It also decreases dosage of any unnecessary antibiotic treatments, as well as the frequency and duration of patients’ conditions due to open wounds. It also has the advantages of reducing health complications and of avoiding bacterial resistance in patients. Besides that, there would be less absenteeism at work, decreased emotional stress in patients and fewer monetary expenses as a result of shorter hospital stays.
