Overview

Case study highlights persistent bacteraemia from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in an immunocompetent adult, suggesting the need for careful antimicrobial management.

Key Points

  • Postoperative bacteraemia developed due to multidrug-resistant S. maltophilia, creating treatment challenges.
  • The patient fully recovered through targeted combination therapy based on susceptibility testing.
  • Rapid identification of emerging pathogens is crucial in surgical settings to ensure effective treatment.
  • This case underscores the significance of antimicrobial stewardship in managing rare infections.
