KPC-PRODUCING Serratia marcescens IN A HOME-CARE PATIENT FROM RECIFE, BRAZIL.

Draft genome sequence of a GES-5-producing Serratia marcescens isolated in southern Brazil

Serratia marcescens is a Gram-negative rod intrinsically resistant to polymyxins and usually associated with wound, respiratory and urinary tract infections. The whole genome of the first GES-5-producing S. marcescens isolated from a Brazilian patient was sequenced using Ion Torrent PGM System. Besides blaGES-5, we were able to identify genes encoding for other β-lactamases, for aminoglycoside ...

Draft Genome Sequence of Carbapenemase-Producing Serratia marcescens Isolated from a Patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The occurrence of multidrug-resistant Serratia marcescens strains producing metallo-β-lactamases or extended-spectrum β-lactamases represents a serious public health threat. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant carbapenemase-producing Serratia marcescens isolate recovered from the bronchoalveolar lavage specimen of a patient suffering from chronic obstructive pulmo...

گزارش یک مورد عفونت ناشی از پورت آلوده دریک کودک مبتلا به لوسمی

Leukemia is a systemic disease in which the normal mechanisms for producing blood elements impairs. Leukemia, malignant clonal growth of hematopoietic cells, is resulted from a malignant precursor cells. ALL is the most common cancer among children. These patients are prone to get bacterial infections. Serratia marcescens is one of the most common bacterial causes of nosocomial infections and e...

Serratia marcescens B4A Chitinase Product Optimization Using Taguchi Approach

Chitinase production by newly isolated Serratia marcescens B4A was optimized following Taguchi’sarray methods. Twenty-three bacterial isolates were screened from shrimp culture ponds in the South ofIran. A chitinase-producing bacterium was isolated based on it’s ability to utilize chitin as the sole carbonsource. The isolate designated as B4A, was identified as Serratia marces...
