Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and epidemiological impact of a new molecular surveillance strategy based on qPCR to control an outbreak by Serratia marcescens in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Methods: We design a specific qPCR for the detection of S. marcescens in rectal swabs of patients admitted to a NICU.
