Background

The emergence of concurrent levofloxacin- and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX)-resistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (LTSRSM) in Taiwan is becoming a serious problem, but clinical data analysis on this has not been reported.

Methods

A matched case-control-control study was conducted to investigate risk factors for LTSRSM occurrence in hospitalized patients. For patients with LTSRSM infection/colonization (the case group), two matched control groups were used: control group A with levofloxacin- and TMP/SMX-susceptible S. maltophilia (LTSSSM) and control group B without S. maltophilia. Besides, tigecycline, ceftazidime, cefepime, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, amikacin, and colistin susceptibilities in collected LTSRSM and levofloxacin- and TMP/SMX-susceptible S. maltophilia (LTSSSM) isolates were compared.

Results

From January 2014 to June 2016, 129 LTSRSM from cultured 1213 S. maltophilia isolates (10.6%) were identified. A total of 107 LTSRSM infected patients paired with 107 LTSSSM-, and 107 non-S. maltophilia-infected ones were included. When compared with control group A, previous fluoroquinolone and TMP/SMX use was found to be independently associated with LTSRSM occurrence. When compared with control group B, mechanical ventilation, cerebrovascular disease, and previous fluoroquinolone use were risk factors for LTSRSM occurrence. Eighty-five LTSRSM and 85 LTSSSM isolates were compared for antibiotic susceptibilities; the resistance rates and minimum inhibitory concentrations of tigecycline and ceftazidime were significantly higher for LTSRSM than for LTSSSM isolates.

Conclusion

The emergence of LTSRSM showing cross resistance to tigecycline and ceftazidime would further limit current therapeutic options. Cautious fluoroquinolone and TMP/SMX use may be helpful to limit such high-level resistant strains of S. maltophilia occurrence.
