The aim of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of invasive isolates of Serratia marcescens, associated with blood stream infections (BSIs) in patients hospitalized in Varna University Hospital, Bulgaria, as well as to identify the genetic mechanisms responsible for 3rd generation cephalosporin and carbapenem-resistance among these isolates. A total of 45 consecutive S. marcescens isolates, obtained from blood cultures of 45 patients with BSIs, hospitalized during an 8-year period (2016-2023) were included.

Serratia marcescens, as a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, is a rare cause of peritonitis and has worse clinical outcomes than Gram-positive peritonitis. In this case report, we describe a case of Serratia marcescens associated peritonitis that was successfully cured without catheter removal. A 40-year-old male patient with peritoneal dialysis who worked in the catering industry was admitted to the hospital for 16 hours after the discovery of cloudy peritoneal dialysate and abdominal pain.

Serratia marcescens is a gram-negative bacillus that is an opportunistic agent in respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and septicemia. It is rarely also a cause of infective endocarditis which follows a rapid and devastating course, typically in persons with history of intravenous drug use (IDU). This article reports a fatal case of a 27-year-old patient with a known history of IDU, who presented with clinical symptoms concerning right-sided endocarditis as well as signs of acute respiratory distress syndrome.
