Insights into antibiotic resistance and prevalence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolated from clinical samples in Iran: A systematic review
Given the low resistance rates to levofloxacin and minocycline, these antibiotics may be considered as potentially effective options for treating <i>S. maltophilia</i> infections in Iran. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole showed comparatively higher resistance rates, suggesting that its clinical efficacy may be declining. The rising isolation of <i>S. maltophilia</i> from clinical specimens in recent years, compared to the previous decade, is of both epidemiological and clinical concern, highlighting the need for ongoing surveillance and prudent antibiotic use.
