Association of minimum inhibitory concentration with outcome in patients with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteraemia treated with empirical levofloxacin

Key Points

• Bacteraemia outcomes correlate with minimum inhibitory concentration levels, enhancing treatment precision.
• Higher minimum inhibitory concentration values were linked to poorer patient outcomes in the analysis of 120 cases.
• Observational analysis assessed treatment effectiveness with empirical levofloxacin in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections.
• Findings highlight the need for careful antibiotic selection based on minimum inhibitory concentration for better management.
