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]
- 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]
Workup
- […] fasciitis of the lower extremity; both organisms had identical antibiograms. 15 The portal of entry in another case was an infected intravenous catheter with bacteremia leading to the development of cellulitis at a distant site. 7 Despite an extensive workup[journals.lww.com]

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]
Treatment

- 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]
- When examining the treatment of Serratia marcescens with appropriate antimicrobials there does not seem to be a difference in symptomatic resolution in polymicrobials vs. unimicrobial infections following treatment.[alliedacademies.org]

Prognosis
- […] system that describes the severity of a patient's illness based on the degree of organ dysfunction, and serves as a useful tool for predicting mortality in bacteremic patients. 35 An elevated SOFA score is indicative of severe organ dysfunction and poor prognosis[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
- 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]

Pathophysiology
- […] opportunistic pathogen in humans. [10] Derivatives of prodigiosin have recently been found to have immunosuppressive properties and antitumor activity in vivo [11, 12] and are also currently being considered as a candidate treatment for Chagas disease. [13] Pathophysiology[emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
- The society’s work improves public health by establishing infection-prevention measures and supporting antibiotic stewardship among healthcare providers, hospitals, and health systems.[shea-online.org]
- 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]
- Additionally, chloramphenicol is inexpensive and remains stable in the presence of heparin (which is commonly included in ALT to prevent catheter thrombosis).[ann-clinmicrob.biomedcentral.com]
