Increase in the Prevalence of Resistance Determinants to Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole in Clinical Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Isolates in China.

AIMS:This study was carried to reveal the genetic mechanisms of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT) resistance. METHODS:Among 300 clinical Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates from China, resistance determinants such as sul and dfrA genes, integrons and transposase were examined using PCR, DNA sequ...
