Abstract Background Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a nosocomial opportunistic pathogen of the Xanthomonadaceae. The organism has been isolated from both clinical and soil environments in addition to...

Aph(3′)-IIc, an Aminoglycoside Resistance Determinant from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia▿

Okazaki, Aki, Avison, Matthew B.

We report the characterization of an intrinsic, chromosomally carried aph(3′)-IIc gene from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia clinical isolate K279a, encoding an aminoglycoside phosphotransferase enzyme...

Induction of L1 and L2 β-Lactamase Production in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Is Dependent on an AmpR-Type Regulator▿

Okazaki, Aki, Avison, Matthew B.

A divergently oriented ampR has been located upstream of blaL2 in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. AmpR is necessary for L1 and L2 β-lactamase induction in response to β-lactam challenge, and...
