We found that 72 neonates were colonized by Serratia marcescens (SM) without any cases of acute infection
pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed that only one SM strain was responsible for this colonization
Summary
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a permanent challenge among neonates. Serratia marcescens (SM) is a rare causative agent of HAIs, responsible for not more than 2% of HAI cases. Our data shed light on transmission of SM-caused HAIs. Disclosure of interest None declared
