The Serratia infections are increasing in hospitalized patients, especially in those with reduced defences. This paper deals with a review of the recent literature on the microbiological characterization of the different Serratia species, the clinical syndrome associated with Serratia infections and the mode of transmission of this opportunistic pathogen. This author's experience in the occurrenceof Serratia in the hospital environment and their sensitivity to antibiotics and disinfectants is presented. The prevention of this infection stemps from these epidemiological data and, above all, consists in application of adequate hospital hygiene measures.

Data on the health impact of carbapenem-resistant bloodstream infections (CRE-BSIs) in pediatric populations from Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are limited. This systematic review aims to examine the demographic, clinical, and microbiological aspects and resource utilization of this infection in children from this region. This systematic review investigates the impact of CRE-BSIs in pediatric populations across LAC.

() commonly induces refractory infection due to its multidrug-resistant nature. To date, there have been no reports on the application of phage treatment for infection. This study was conducted to explore the feasibility of phage application in treating refractory infection by collaborating with a 59-year-old male patient with a pulmonary infection of multidrug-resistant Our experiments included three domains: ) selection of the appropriate phage, ) verification of the efficacy and safety of the selected phage, ) confirmation of phage-bacteria interactions.

Article Synopsis
- Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of newborn deaths in low and middle-income countries, prompting a study in Vietnam to analyze bacterial causes and antibiotic resistance patterns.
- A study at the National Children's Hospital identified 202 cases of sepsis, predominantly caused by Gram-negative bacteria, with Klebsiella pneumoniae as the most common pathogen.
- The research underscores the need for ongoing monitoring and specific antibiotic strategies to effectively address neonatal sepsis and its challenges.
