Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Stenotrophomonas species isolated from Mexico.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stenotrophomonas species are multi-resistant bacteria with ability to cause opportunistic infections.

Objective

We isolated 45 Stenotrophomonas species from soil, sewage and the clinic with the aim of investigating their susceptibility to commonly used antimicrobial agents.

Methodology

The identities of isolates were confirmed with 16S rRNA gene sequence and MALDI-TOF analysis. Anti-microbial resistance, biofilm production and clonal diversity were also evaluated. The minimum inhibitory concentration technique as described by Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute: CLSI Guidelines (CLSI) was employed for the evaluation of isolate susceptibility to antibiotics.

Result

Forty-five Stenotrophomonas species which include 36 environ
