Clinical presentation and outcomes in non-maltophilia Stenotrophomonas spp. bloodstream infections (opens in new tab)

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia complex is an important nosocomial cause of bacteraemia. The complex comprises multiple species, but their relative clinical and genomic significance remains unclear. We examined clinical and genomic differences between S. maltophilia and non-S. maltophilia species to better understand their virulence and implications for patient care. Hospitalized adult patients (≥ 21 years) between January 2022 and June 2024 with Stenotrophomonas species bacteraemia were examine...
