Abstract
- The genome of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia encodes a cell-cell signaling system that is highly related to the diffusible signal factor (DSF)-dependent system of the phytopathogen Xanthomonas campestris . Here we show that in S. maltophilia , DSF signaling controls factors contributing to the virulence and antibiotic resistance of this important nosocomial pathogen.
