Isolation and Characterization of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Isolates from a Brazilian Hospital

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging nosocomial pathogen responsible for several infections in immunocompromised patients. To characterize the antimicrobial resistance and virulence potential of this microorganism in a Brazilian hospital, a total of 936 samples were collected from a nosocomia...
