ABSTRACT

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging gram-negative pathogen that was previously labeled as a colonizer. Nowadays, with multiple antibiotic usage along with certain host factors, infections caused by this organism are getting attention. We hereby report two cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia in postoperative infants by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in a cardiac intensive care unit (ICU).
