To evaluate the efficacy of broad-spectrum agents

What type of bacteria is Stenotrophomonas (S.) spp?

Non-fermentative Gram-negative bacteria (correct)

Fermentative Gram-positive bacteria

Non-fermentative Gram-positive bacteria

Fermentative Gram-negative bacteria

Why has the clinical management of MDR GNB infections become more complex?

Due to the high levels of resistance expressed by the bacteria (correct)

Due to the decreased efficacy of broad-spectrum agents

Due to the increased occurrence of colonized patients

Due to the development of new antibiotic agents

Study Notes

Objectives of the Review

Discuss current data and outcomes for managing and treating critically ill patients with Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) caused by pan-drug resistant Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
Present strategies for effective antibiotic treatment against MDR S. maltophilia isolates.
Review mortality rates and common influencing risk factors for patients with pan-resistance.

Background and Context

Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria (MDR GNB) infections have limited therapeutic options.
Pan-resistant phenotypes make clinical management more complex and challenging.
Stenotrophomonas (S.) maltophilia is a non-fermentative Gram-Negative Bacteria (GNB) causing nosocomial and community-acquired infections.
Despite broad-spectrum agents, S. maltophilia isolates have increased resistance, leading to colonization and infections in patients with specific risk conditions.

Methodology

Performed a major search of online databases until April 2019.
Reviewed experimental and observational studies, online journals, and expert opinions on VAP/HAP due to S. maltophilia.
