Serratia marcescens Endocarditis [PDF]

Cureus, 2021
Infective endocarditis (IE) secondary to Staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus species comprises the majority of cases in literature with Gram negative bacterial insults occurring infrequently. Serratia marcescens is a Gram negative bacillus which is classified as motile, non-lactose fermenting, and a facultative anerobe. The presumed risk factor for

Serratia marcescens Colonization in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Has Multiple Sources, with Sink Drains as a Major Reservoir

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2023
The bacterium Serratia marcescens is an important opportunistic human pathogen that thrives in many environments, can become multidrug resistant, and is often involved in nosocomial outbreaks in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). We evaluated the role

Non-pigmented Strain of Serratia Marcescens: An Unusual Pathogen Causing Pulmonary Infection in a Patient with Malignancy [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
Serratia marcescens is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. It has emerged in recent years as an opportunistic pathogen of nosocomial infections. Some biotypes of Serratia marcescens produce the non-diffusible red pigment prodigiosin.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...
