  • Title: Serratia marcescens bacteremia after carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting.
    Author: Demetriou CA, Cunha BA.
    Journal: Heart Lung; 1999; 28(4):293-4. PubMed ID: 10409316.
    Abstract:
    Serratia Marcescens is a common, water-borne hospital colonizer. Respiratory secretions, wounds, and urine are frequently recognized areas of Serratia colonization. Serratia bacteremias usually occur nosocomially and are associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. Serratia bacteremias may be primary or secondary from an identifiable source. Hospital-acquired S marcescens bacteremias have no known source in half of the cases. We present a case of nosocomial primary S marcescens bacteremia in a surgical patient successfully treated with levofloxacin.
