Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ZBG7B was isolated from vineyard soil of Zellenberg, France. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of this bacterial strain, which has facilitated the prediction of function for several genes encoding biotechnologically important enzymes, such as xylosidase, xylanase, laccase, and chitinase.

A Gram-negative bacterium, designated as strain KB2, was isolated from activated sludge and was found to utilize different aromatic substrates as sole carbon and energy source. On the basis of morphological and physiochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolated strain KB2 was identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Strain KB2 is from among different Stenotropho...

Introduction: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic gram-negative rod emerging as a cause of various multidrug-resistant infections. Case Report: We report a case of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) pocket infection caused by S. maltophilia in an 85-year-old male. The patient recovered after ICD removal and antimicrobial therapy with ceftazidime. Conclusion: As ICD implan...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging opportunistic pathogen with an increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. maltophilia strain M30, isolated from a pressure ulcer in an elderly patient.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain B418 was isolated from a barley rhizosphere in China. This bacterium exhibits broad-spectrum inhibitory activities against plant pathogens and root-knot nematode along with growth-promoting effects. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of S. maltophilia B418.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is an emerging opportunistic ocular pathogen that should be included in the diff erential diagnosis of progressive keratitis in penetrating keratoplasty. Prognosis is poor because of the existence of co-infections and high antibiotic resistance. Th e present study reports two cases of keratitis caused by S. maltophilia in patients with penetrating k...

An isolate of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was cultured from the Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi. Here, we present the annotated draft genome sequence of this S. maltophilia strain. This genomic resource will facilitate further characterization of bacteria associated with mosquitoes.

A systematic evaluation of the attributable mortality of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia was undertaken in a matched, retrospective, case-control study. We determined the attributable mortality rate (26.7%) and mortality risk ratio (an 8-fold increase) of S. maltophilia bacteremia. The attributable mortality rate for S. maltophilia bacteremia is similar to the attributable mortality rat...
