Department of Microbiology, Melaka Manipal Medical College, Manipal.E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Serratia rubidaea causing urinary tract infection is presented here. [jcdr.net]
(b) Comparison of the genes quantitatively presented in A in relation to the genomes of the other species present in the clade of S. liquefaciens. [nature.com]
Two weeks later, he presented with septicaemia and infection with Serratia marcescens at the ICD pocket site. [hindawi.com]
Ten cases presented with symptoms following a surgical procedure. [cureus.com]
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]

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]
Initial workup revealed an embolus in the right popliteal artery as well as lesions consistent with infarction in the spleen and bilateral kidneys on abdominal CT scan. [cureus.com]

Treatment
The treatment regimen was different at the 2 sites with the most patients affected. [revistanefrologia.com]

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]
Prognosis
[…] obstructive pulmonary disease immunocompromised status recent procedure at the site of infection i.e., instrumentation of urinary tract or bronchoscopy Pathogenesis the bacteria colonizes the respiratory and urinary tracts and causes nosocomial infections Prognosis [step1.medbullets.com]
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]
[…] 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
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]

Pathophysiology The opportunistic pathogen S. marcescens commonly causes urinary tract and ocular lens infections. It has also been linked with endocarditis, osteomyelitis, septicemia, wound and respiratory tract infections. [creative-biolabs.com]
