Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism and ribotyping of multiresistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolated from persisting lung infection in a cystic fibrosis patient

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases

Abstract

A cystic fibrosis patient was infected by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia over at least 15 months. The bacteria became increasingly resistant to antimicrobial agents. Determination of restriction fragment length polymorphism and ribotyping showed that resistance was due to changes in that S. maltophilia rather than to infection by another strain.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Bacterial Pneumonia

Bacterial pneumonia is a prevalent and costly infection that is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients of all ages. Here is the latest research.
