Stenotrophomonas maltophilia WJ66 Genome sequencing and assembly. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia WJ66

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain WJ66 was sequenced in this project which was originally isolated in a blood sample from an elder male patient undergoing chemotherapy. The patient has diabetic nephropathy, chronic renal insufficiency, uremia, renal anemia, lung infection, hypertension, cerebral infarction (old), urinary tract infection, hyperuricemia and did not respond to therapy with piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime or imipenem. MLST sequencing showed that Strain S.ma WJ66 belongs to ST31.Although S.maltophilia is not usually highly virulent, but the emergence of its powerful antibiotics resistance is becoming a cause for public health concern worldwide.
