Comparative genomics of clinical Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates reveals genetic diversity which correlates with colonization and persistence in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a Gram-negative emerging opportunistic pathogen often present in people with respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF). People with CF (pwCF) experience lifelong polymicrobial infections of the respiratory mucosa. Our prior work showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa promotes persistence of S. maltophilia in mouse respiratory infections. As is typical for environmental...
