Abstract
L1 metallo-β-lactamases produced by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia exhibit high diversity. Here, we characterized the genomes of Stenotrophomonas species harboring blaL1-like genes using publicly available genome sequences. Our findings provide evidence that Stenotrophomonas species with blaL1-like genes constitute a complex comprising many species with high genetic diversity, and similarities between blaL1-like genes are lower than those of the genome. This suggests that the diversity of blaL1-like is attributable to species diversity in Stenotrophomonas species harboring blaL1-like and the rapid evolutionary changes in blaL1-like genes.
