Here we present a case of a severe facial infection in a 2-year-old boy after a horse bite, from which Serratia rubidaea and Enterobacter cloacae were isolated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Colonization can hence turn breast milk and fecally-soiled diapers pink, which can lead otherwise unaffected patients to present to their physicians and also interrupt breastfeeding. [liebertpub.com]

• Confusion

  Biotyping, bacteriocin typing, phage typing, plasmid analysis, and ribotyping can also be usedS. marcescens appears red on trypticase soy agar slants when grown at around 25 C.S. marcescens and S. liquefaciens can be easily confused in the lab when using [en.wikipedia.org]

  Interestingly, S. marcescens has one of the most confusing taxonomies of any bacteria and was given 17 other names before finally being officially named in 1980. 2. [idstewardship.com]

  To avoid further confusion, the name Serratia rubidae (Stapp 1940) Ewing et al. 1973 (Approved Lists 1980) should now be used to designate the same ( Serratia rubidae - Serratia marinorubra ) taxon [2]. References: 1 BRENNER (D.J.): Family I. [bacterio.net]

• Gram-Positive Bacteria

  Abstract Bioassay-guided fractionation of culture extracts of Serratia plymuthica strain MF371-2 resulted in the isolation of two new antibacterial compounds with potent activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus LMG 15975 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Most CRB in HD patients is caused by Gram-positive bacteria.6S. marcescens is a gram-negative bacillus found predominantly in humid conditions; it is pathogenic for man and causes outbreaks of resistant infections, especially in immunosuppressed patients [revistanefrologia.com]

The patient received the appropriate antibiotic treatment, without further surgical intervention. Discussion. [hindawi.com]

The patient had taken antitubercular treatment for three months in 1995, then again for one month in 1997. He had also undergone bronchoscopy in 1997. The patient was non-smoker. [ijmm.org]

Standard infection control interventions interrupted transmission of this cluster even when treatment with colistin continued in several wards of hospital H1 until now. [ri.conicet.gov.ar]

It has also been seen without apparent infection in the intestinal tract of the newborn. 7 The isolation of Serratia from the urine of 20 further patients is recorded here, and some evidence is given as to its etiological role in cases of urinary tract [jamanetwork.com]

Although numerous pathogens cause diarrhea, the etiology of many episodes remains unknown. Serratia marcescens is incriminated in hospital-associated infections, and HIV/AIDS associated diarrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Optimizing use of colistin should be achieved simultaneously with improved infection control to prevent the emergence of species naturally resistant to colistin, such as S. marcescens and P. mirabilis. [ri.conicet.gov.ar]

The Medical Prevention Service was informed and the corresponding protocol was carried out, reviewing the asepsis measures for catheter handling, and investigating the unit consumables and non-consumables and healthcare staff as possible foci and vectors [revistanefrologia.com]

Implementation of antimicrobial stewardship and strict infection control practices is imperative to prevent further dissemination of this formidable pathogen. [scielo.org.za]
