Abstract

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an important nosocomial organism increasingly reported with multiple-resistance to important antimicrobial drugs. We report an isolation case of clinical Stenotrophomonas maltophilia from Libyan hospitals. Antibiotic susceptibility testing using automated system showed the multi-resistant typical phenotype of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia against β-lactams drugs and sensitivity for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (MICs>2/38μg/ml). Laboratories must understand the importance of accurate identification and recommendations for nosocomial infection which can be treated successfully with the appropriate antibiotic drugs.
