Summary: S. maltophilia, previously understudied as a plant pathogen, was found to exhibit pathogenicity in plants with the JZL8 strain. Compared to other strains, JZL8 showed faster growth and different enzyme production patterns. Additionally, JZL8 demonstrated high survival rates under antibiotic stresses and unique genomic characteristics that may contribute to its pathogenicity in plants.

Summary: Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant infectious disease in China and accurate diagnosis and treatment are vital for TB prevention and control. A study found that Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, a multidrug-resistant bacterium, was isolated from stored Mtb cultures and had a negative impact on TB diagnosis and treatment. S. maltophilia showed resistance to multiple anti-TB drugs and altered the drug sensitivity test results, requiring attention and further research.

Summary: CUB19 is a novel bacteriophage that specifically targets the bacterial species Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. It exhibits stability over a wide range of temperatures and pH values and has potent antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity. The study also suggests that CUB19 is effective when co-administered with antibiotics, making it a promising targeted therapeutic agent against biofilm-associated Stenotrophomonas infections.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of S.maltophilia pneumonia in critical COVID-19 patients. S.maltophilia pneumonia was found to be common in ICU and associated with a longer hospital stay. Risk factors for S.maltophilia pneumonia included previous treatment with meropenem, thrombopenia, endotracheal intubation, foley catheter, and central venous catheter insertion.

Summary: Glucose-6-phosphate does not increase the activity of fosfomycin against S. maltophilia, but other metabolites such as fructose, phosphoenolpyruvate, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate increase its activity. Glucose-6-phosphate decreases fosfomycin internalization, while the other compounds increase its intracellular concentrations.

Summary: A psychrophilic strain, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 780, isolated from the south polar region, was found to efficiently degrade CP4-EPSPS, eliminating its pollution from accumulated straws during winter. The strain possessed thermo-sensitive extracellular proteases, with an optimal temperature of 65 degrees C. Genomic sequencing revealed that the strain had over a hundred putative protease and peptidase coding genes, explaining its high capability in decomposing CP4-EPSPS.

Summary: The rise of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens and the lack of novel antibiotics has led to the reutilization of old antibiotics, such as fosfomycin. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a Gram-negative, non-fermenter opportunistic pathogen with low susceptibility to antibiotics. Fosfomycin resistance in S. maltophilia is caused by the inactivation of enzymes in its central carbon metabolism, linking metabolism with antibiotic resistance. Different growing conditions can impact the pathways of fosfomycin resistance evolution in S. maltophilia.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
