Abstract excerpt

An approximately 200-kb plasmid has been purified from clinical isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. This plasmid was found in all of the 10 isolates examined and contains both the L1 and the L2 beta-lactamase genes. The location of L1 and L2 on a plasmid makes it more likely that they could spread to other gram-negative bacteria, potentially causing clinical problems. Sequence analysis of the 10 L1 genes...
