Global spread of the multi-resistant pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

Researchers have found a remarkable global spread of strains of a multi-resistant bacterium that can cause severe infections -- Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. The study provides for the first time a systematic understanding of the global phylogeny of S. maltophilia strains and shows ways to efficiently monitor the pathogen using a genomic classification system.
