Serratia marcescens- a rare opportunistic nosocomial pathogen and measures to limit its spread in hospitalized patients.
BACKGROUND In November 2011, 6 patients who were in the ICU of the Sri Guru Ram Dass Institute of Medical Sciences and Research acquired an infection which was caused by Serratia marcescens. We investigated the cause of the increase in frequency of the isolation of Serratia marcesens from hospitalized patients. METHODS Various samples from patients and environmental sources, which were collec...
متن کاملGenome Evolution and Plasticity of Serratia marcescens, an Important Multidrug-Resistant Nosocomial Pathogen
Serratia marcescens is an important nosocomial pathogen that can cause an array of infections, most notably of the urinary tract and bloodstream. Naturally, it is found in many environmental niches, and is capable of infecting plants and animals. The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant strains producing extended-spectrum or metallo beta-lactamases now pose a threat to public health worl...
متن کاملNosocomial outbreak of nitrate-negative Serratia marcescens infections.
Bacteremia due to multiply-antibiotic-resistant Serratia marcescens occurred within 1 week in four patients who were in adjacent beds in an intensive care unit. The strains were serotyped as O14:H12 and were nitrate negative. This unusual biochemical marker was useful in the investigation of the outbreak.
متن کاملActivation of trigeminovascular neurons by glyceryl trinitrate.
The effect of intra-carotid arterial infusions of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), a substance known to precipitate headache, including migraine, upon the spontaneous activity of trigeminal neurons with craniovascular input was studied in cats. Second-order craniovascular neurons which received sensory input from the superior sagittal sinus were recorded in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis. Infusions ...
متن کاملComparison with glyceryl trinitrate
The coronary haemodynamic effects of nifedipine and glyceryl trinitrate were compared in 22 patients undergoing investigations for suspected coronary artery disease. Myocardial blood flow was estimated by the coronary sinus thermodilution technique. In sinus rhythm nifedipine increased mean coronary sinus flow from 135 ml/min to 152 m/min, and reduced arterio-coronary sinus oxygen difference fr...
