Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To test the hypothesis that Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates from certain phylogenetic groups have predictable beta-lactamase expression and beta-lactam resistance profiles. METHODS: Isolates were grouped using sequences of the 16S rRNA gene and smeT-smeD intergenic region. beta-Lactamase activities in cell extracts were quantified spectrophotometrically and beta-lactam MICs were determined using agar...
