Genomic information on Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ST264 isolated from a cystic fibrosis pediatric patient in Brazil.

ABSTRACT: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is one of the Gram-negative bacilli most frequently found in the airways of cystic fibrosis patients. This opportunistic pathogen is intrinsically multidrug-resistant, and therefore, its treatment presents a challenge. The genetic characterization of S. maltophilia is largely unknown, especially from those strains that colonize/infect the airways of cystic fibrosis patients. This work reports the draft genome sequences of three S. maltophilia isolates recovered from the sputum of a cystic fibrosis pediatric patient in Southeast Brazil. Several resistance- and virulence-related genes were detected. Furthermore, one intact phage and one incomplete prophage region were also identified in all strains. Multilocus sequence typing showed that all strains belonged to a
