The Relationship between the Biofilm Genes and Antibiotic Resistance in < em > Stenotrophomonas maltophilia < /em >

CONCLUSION: The results of the current study demonstrated that S. maltophilia isolates differ in biofilm-forming ability. Moreover, smf-1, rmlA, and spgM genes were presented in all strong biofilm producers. Although the overall resistance rate to the evaluated antibiotics was high, there was no statistically significant relation between antibiotic resistance and the type of biofilm.PMID:37692920 | PMC:PMC10484654 | DOI:10.1155/2023/8873948
