Evaluation of the Performance of Manual Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Methods and Disk Breakpoints for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

Ayesha Khan et al.

Summary: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a challenging pathogen with intrinsic resistance to many antibiotics, except trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Alternative therapies such as levofloxacin, minocycline, and ceftazidime are used for neutropenic patients, but testing for susceptibility is necessary. Disk and gradient diffusion tests show good performance for S. maltophilia, except for levofloxacin and ceftazidime. Further studies are needed to establish interpretive criteria for certain antibiotics.
