Whole-genome sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia D457, A clinical isolate and a model strain

Abstract

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic pathogen with an environmental origin, and it is an increasingly relevant cause of nosocomial infections. Here we present the whole-genome sequence of S. maltophilia strain D457, a clinical isolate that is being used as a model for studying antibiotic resistance in this bacterial species. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
