Disinfectant-resistant Serratia marcescens in a Hungarian hospital

Eight cases of bloodstream infection caused by non-multidrug-resistant, disinfectant-resistant Serratia marcescens were identified in an adult intensive care unit in a tertiary hospital. 14 S. marcescens isolates from the 8 cases, 2 non-cases and 4 environmental samples were sequenced for genome-based typing.

某三级医院成人重症监护病房内共检出8例由非多重耐药、耐消毒剂黏质沙雷菌（Serratia marcescens）引发的血流感染病例。研究人员对8例病例来源的14株黏质沙雷菌分离株、2份非病例样本及4份环境样本开展了基于基因组的测序分型。
