Abstract excerpt
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, an emerging opportunistic pathogen, is widely distributed in the environment the resistance mechanisms, and virulence factors of this bacterium facilitate its dissemination in hospitals. This study aimed to characterize the molecular epidemiology of S. maltophilia strains associated with an outbreak in the Children's Hospital of México Federico Gómez (HIMFG). Twenty-one clinical S....
