Article Synopsis
- Recent studies indicate a growing global threat from multidrug-resistant pathogens, particularly Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, which poses risks to healthcare settings.
- An international analysis of this pathogen revealed it is divided into 23 distinct lineages, many of which contain strains capable of varying levels of human virulence.
- Notably, lineage Sm6 was found to have the highest association with human infections and includes key genes linked to virulence and antibiotic resistance, suggesting potential for hospital outbreaks among closely related strains.
