Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Encodes a VirB/VirD4 Type IV Secretion System That Modulates Apoptosis in Human Cells and Promotes Competition against Heterologous Bacteria, Including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [Infect Immun. 2019]
Cefiderocol is a new injectable siderophore cephalosporin that has shown promising data against carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria, including Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. [93][94][95] Eravacycline, omadacycline, and delafloxacin have demonstrated good in-vitro activity as well for their respective infection indications.
Stenotrophomonas infections have been associated with high morbidity and mortality in severely immunocompromised and debilitated individuals.
B96. 89 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM B96. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code B96. 89 for Other specified bacterial agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
9: Fever, unspecified.
ICD-10 code: U82. 1 Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis [MDR-TB]
2022 ICD-10-CM Codes B96*: Other bacterial agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere.
ICD-10 code: A49. 9 Bacterial infection, unspecified.
R06. 2 Wheezing - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
ICD-9 Code Transition: 780.79 Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
Septicemia – There is NO code for septicemia in ICD-10. Instead, you're directed to a combination 'A' code for sepsis to indicate the underlying infection, such A41. 9 (Sepsis, unspecified organism) for septicemia with no further detail.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a leading nosocomial pathogen, may become multidrug resistant (MDR). Its rate of occurrence, the individual risk factors among affected patients, and the clinical impact of infection are undetermined.
Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB) is caused by TB bacteria that are resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin, the two most potent TB drugs. These drugs are used to treat all persons with TB disease. TB experts should be consulted in the treatment of MDR TB.
ICD-10 code: B96. 5 Pseudomonas (aeruginosa) as the cause of diseases classified to other chapters.
Clinical Information. Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus. Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus; includes staphylococcal pneumonia, staph skin infections, furunculosis, carbuncle, impetigo, ritter disease, scalded skin syndrome, etc. Staph is short for staphylococcus, a type of bacteria.
The best way to prevent staph is to keep hands and wounds clean. Most staph skin infections are easily treated with antibiotics or by draining the infection. Some staph bacteria such as mrsa (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) are resistant to certain antibiotics, making infections harder to treat.
code to identify resistance to antimicrobial drugs ( Z16.-) Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus. Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus; includes staphylococcal pneumonia, staph skin infections, furunculosis, carbuncle, impetigo, ritter disease, scalded skin syndrome, etc.
skin infections are the most common. They can look like pimples or boils.
You are more likely to get one if you have a cut or scratch, or have contact with a person or surface that has staph bacteria.
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has had multiple different names in the past. It was first found in a pleural effusion in 1943 and given the name Bacterium bookeri. It was then renamed to Pseudomonas maltophilia in 1961. It was moved to the genus Xanthomonas in 1983, and most recently to Stenotrophomonas in 1993.
S. maltophilia frequently colonizes humid surfaces such as the tubes used in mechanical ventilation and indwelling urinary catheters as well as medical devices such as suction catheters and endoscopes. Infection is usually facilitated by the presence of prosthetic material (plastic or metal), and the most effective treatment is ...
The growth of S. maltophilia in microbiological cultures of respiratory or urinary specimens is difficult to interpret due to its low pathogenicity, and not a proof of infection.
Deliberate induction of inflammatory responses is the main pathogenic mechanisms of S. maltophilia infection. S. maltophilia secretes outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), that cause an inflammatory response. OMVs from S. maltophilia ATCC 13637 were found to be cytotoxic to human lung epithelial cells.
S. maltophilia is naturally resistant to many broad-spectrum antibiotics (including all carbapenems) due to the production of two inducible chromosomal metallo-β-lactamases (designated L1 and L2). This makes treatment of infected patients very difficult.
In immunocompetent individuals, S. maltophilia is a relatively unusual cause of pneumonia, urinary tract infection, or bloodstream infection; in immunocompromised patients, however, S. maltophilia is a growing source of latent pulmonary infections. S. maltophilia colonization rates in individuals with cystic fibrosis have been increasing.
In immunocompromised patients, S. maltophilia can lead to nosocomial infections. It is also an emerging nosocomial pathogen associated with opportunistic infections in patients with cystic fibrosis, cancer, and HIV. Adherence of this organism to abiotic surfaces such as medical implants and catheters represents a major risk for hospitalized ...
