Abstract
A rare human pathogen,Serratia fonticola (S. fonticola)has previously been found to cause skin and soft tissue infections post-trauma. The literature contains limited information regarding its management or sensitivity patterns. We aim to share our findings on S. fonticola infections in an area with a high rate of antibiotic resistance. To draw attentiontothis uncommon and rare infection, we share a case series of S. fonticola. The antibiogram revealed that S. fonticola in all our cases was multidrug resistant.Two of our five cases had a prior history of road traffic accidents and yielded polymicrobial infections along withS. fonticola.The other two were revived successfully with proper antibiotic treatment, though one had glucose-6-phosphate deficiency (G6PD) and the last one was a neonate with pulmonary hypertension who grew S. fonticola in blood culture.
