Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an aerobic, nonfermentative, Gram-negative bacterium. It is an uncommon bacterium and human infection is difficult to treat. Initially classified as Bacterium bookeri, then renamed Pseudomonas maltophilia, S. maltophilia was also grouped in the genus Xanthomonas before eventually becoming the type species of the genus Stenotrophomonas in 1993. S. maltophilia is slightly smaller (0.7â1.8 Ã 0.4â0.7 Î¼m) than other members of the genus.
Neutrophils are the first line of defense at the site of an infection. They encounter and kill microbes intracellularly upon phagocytosis or extracellularly by degranulation of antimicrobial proteins and the release of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs).NETs were shown to ensnare and kill microbes.otably, neutrophils may also kill or inhibit extracellularly by releasing Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs). NETs are fibers made of chromatin (histones and DNA) decorated with antimicrobial proteins. NETs ensnare and kill microbes, such as bacteria, fungi and parasites.
