Clinical Features, Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile, and Outcomes of Infectious Keratitis Caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

Conclusions: Infectious keratitis due to S. maltophilia presents a treatment challenge because of its resistance to aminoglycosides and cephalosporins, which are typically used for empiric broad-spectrum gram-negative coverage as fortified solutions. Fluoroquinolones and polymyxin B/trimethoprim should be considered instead in cases of S. maltophilia infection.
