  • Title: Case report of a successfully treated gentamicin and ciprofloxacin resistant Serratia marcescens prosthetic joint infection.
    Author: Cannon TA, Partridge DG, Boden RA, Townsend R, Stockley I.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2014 Nov; 96(8):e23-5. PubMed ID: 25350172.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of an eradicated multiresistant Serratia marcescens prosthetic hip joint infection. It is estimated that enteric Gram-negative organisms account for approximately 8% of prosthetic joint infections. However, the evolving multiresistant strains of organisms being encountered in hospital acquired infections is making eradication increasingly difficult. We describe n our surgical and microbiological approach to this in a complex case.
