Distribution of smf-1, rmlA, spgM and rpfF genes among Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates in relation to biofilm-forming capacity

Objectives: The molecular mechanisms involved in biofilm formation inStenotrophomonas maltophilia are poorly understood. Here, we examined whether the presence of smf-1, rmlA, spgM and rpfF genes is associated with biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance in S. maltophilia. Methods: A total of 15...
