Cotrimoxazole is preferred for Pseudomonas maltophilia, followed by minocycline, levofloxacin and ceftazidime.
Pseudomonas maltophilia belongs to the conditionally pathogenic bacteria, easy to be infected when the human body has low resistance, and has great resistance to antibiotics. Generally, the drug susceptibility test shows that most of the antibiotics are resistant, and most of the cotrimoxazole is sensitive.
Pseudomonas maltophilia is naturally resistant to most antibiotics such as ampicillin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ertapenem, imipenem, and aminoglycosides. For ceftazidime it is generally sensitive in vitro but ineffective in vivo.
Cotrimoxazole belongs to the sulfonamide class of drugs, which is not strong for most bacteria, but strong for Pseudomonas maltophilia.
It is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions.
