Abstract
The risk of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections mediated by the medical devices is exacerbated with an increase in the number of ICU patients during the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. Complications caused by S. maltophilia infections could complicate the state of an illness, greatly extending the length of hospitalization and increasing the financial burden.
