Stenotrophomonas maltophilia from Nepal Producing Two Novel Antibiotic Inactivating Enzymes, a Class A β-Lactamase KBL-1 and an Aminoglycoside 6′-N-Acetyltransferase AAC(6′)-Iap

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia from Nepal Producing Two Novel Antibiotic Inactivating Enzymes, a Class A β-Lactamase KBL-1 and an Aminoglycoside 6′-N-Acetyltransferase AAC(6′)-Iap

ABSTRACT Seven drug-resistant strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia were isolated from patients at two university hospitals in Nepal. S. maltophilia JUNP497 was found to encode a novel class A β-lactamase, KBL-1 (Kathmandu β-lactamase), consisting of 286 amino acids with 52.98% identity to PSV-1....
