Molecular Characterization of Virulence Determinants of <i>Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia</i> Strains Isolated from Patients Affected by Cystic Fibrosis
1 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging nosocomial bacterial pathogen which is currently isolated with increasing frequency from the airways of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. In this study 13 S. maltophilia strains (11 isolated from the airways of independent CF patients, and two non-CF respiratory reference strains) have been characterized for the expression of several virulence-associated factors.
