Part Description

LP105049-3   Serratia sp
Serratia species are gram-negative pathogens belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. Over 14 species of Serratia have been identified with S. marcescens being the most common clinical isolate. In the past, it was estimated that only 1-2% of hospital acquired infections, typically of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, surgical wounds or soft tissues, were due to Serratia marcescens. Results from a recent surveillance program in the US and Europe found that Serratia species were the cause of about 6.5% of all Gram-negative infections in intensive care units (ICUs) and approximately 3.5% in other settings. PMID: 24630306 Diagnosis of Serratia species infections is made through standard laboratory testing of blood, urine, pus and other bodily fluids. Severe infections, including meningitis and sepsis, have a high mortality rate. PMID: 23543704 Source: Regenstrief LOINC
