Complete genome sequence reveals multidrug resistance and amoeba replication in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolated from river sediments, indicating environmental adaptability.
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ESTM1D_MKCAZ16_6a (Sm18) is a multidrug-resistant strain isolated from river sediments in Morelos, Mexico. It is capable of replicating within acid Rab7A-positive Acanthamoeba castellanii phagosomes. The complete genome was assembled from Oxford Nanopore and paired-end Illumina reads, encoding 3,970 proteins and 91 RNAs on a single circular 4.48 Mbp chromosome.
