Emergence after antibiotic treatment, resistance to many antibiotics, prevalence in hospital patients, and typical ward epidemics suggest that Serratia is a predominantly hospital-acquired organism. [jamanetwork.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]

Endocarditis by Serratia species has a poor prognosis, and surgical management is often required. In this case, the patient received only antibiotic treatment and survived, while remaining asymptomatic. [hindawi.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]

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]

The etiology of this phenomenon remains unknown, and there is no evidence that gram-negative rods such as S. marcescens have an increased ability to increase to the matrix ligands that are associated with sterile vegetation but are important in the etiology [cureus.com]
