Abstract excerpt
AIMS: This study was carried to reveal the genetic mechanisms of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT) resistance. METHODS: Among 300 clinical Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates from China, resistance determinants such as sul and dfrA genes, integrons and transposase were examined using PCR, DNA sequencing and thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR (TAIL-PCR). Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0. RESULTS: Of the 300...
