“…Direct contact with the source of the disease is usually the mode of transmission for this disease [ 2 ]. Several cases of disease transmission have been reported through direct contact with healthcare professionals [ 2 , 15 ]. The pathogens were also found in hospital tap water, which is an important source of infection [ 16 ].…”

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, a gram-negative bacillus well known to cause respiratory tract infections, is increasingly being reported to cause urinary tract infections (UTI). In our review of the literature comprising six articles, males were more prone to developing UTIs, with the mean age of the patients being 62.5 ±18.9 years. While several risk factors have been associated with the development of the disease, patients with underlying urological or nephrological diseases tend to develop a more severe illness. The organism was sensitive to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) in the majority of cases. This systematic review also aims to shed light on the possible mechanisms of resistance adopted by the bacteria, modes of transmission, and strategies to prevent the transmission and development of the disease.

Seventy-seven clinical isolates of Xanthomonas maltophilia (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) were consecutively collected from the Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, ribotyped and compared with the ribotypes of 25 other clinical and reference strains of Xanthomonas maltophilia. Using restriction enzyme EcoRI, 20 different ribotypes were observed, with 78 isolates displaying the five most common types. Using another enzyme, BamHI, these 78 isolates were further subdivided into 16 different ribotypes. Three patients harboured two strains with different ribotypes. No type was found related to only one department and no single-strain outbreak was detected. The origin of this wealth of different strains in hospital patients needs to be established.
