Serratia marcescens antibiotic resistance mechanisms of an opportunistic pathogen: a literature review [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Serratia marcescens is a ubiquitous bacterium from order Enterobacterales displaying a high genetic plasticity that allows it to adapt and persist in multiple niches including soil, water, plants, and nosocomial environments. Recently, S.

New insights into the antibacterial mode of action of quercetin against uropathogen Serratia marcescens in-vivo and in-vitro

Scientific Reports, 2022
In the course of a quest for therapeutic agents inhibiting uropathogens, the rise and universal blowout of antibiotic-resistant organisms is a wide problem. To overcome this matter, exploration of alternative antimicrobials is necessary.

Mechanism of interaction of an endofungal bacterium Serratia marcescens D1 with its host and non-host fungi.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Association of bacteria with fungi is a major area of research in infection biology, however, very few strains of bacteria have been reported that can invade and reside within fungal hyphae. Here, we report the characterization of an endofungal bacterium

Genomic, Physiologic, and Symbiotic Characterization of Serratia marcescens Strains Isolated from the Mosquito Anopheles stephensi

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Strains of Serratia marcescens, originally isolated from the gut lumen of adult female Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes, established persistent infection at high rates in adult A. stephensi whether fed to larvae or in the sugar meal to adults. By contrast,

The ICU environment contributes to the endemicity of the “Serratia marcescens complex” in the hospital setting

mBio
Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic pathogen historically associated with sudden outbreaks in intensive care units (ICUs) and the spread of carbapenem-resistant genes. However, the ecology of S.

Antimicrobial Treatment of Serratia marcescens Invasive Infections: Systematic Review

Antibiotics, 2023
Background: Serratia marcescens (SM) is a Gram-negative pathogen discovered by Italian pharmacist, Bizio, in 1819. According to the literature, S. marcescens is resistant to a wide range of antibiotics, including penicillin, cephalosporin, tetracycline ...

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

Isolation and characterization of pectinase-producing bacteria (Serratia marcescens) from avocado peel waste for juice clarification

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Bacterial pectinase is an enzyme that could be employed in numerous sectors to break down pectin polysaccharide compounds. The goal of this study is to find pectinase-producing bacteria in avocado peel waste and see if the pectinase enzyme produced can ...
