Serratia marcescens is a well recognized nosocomial pathogen. We report an outbreak with this organism in 8 neonates in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Seven cases were treated successfully with meropenem after the failure of imipenem treatment. Although they have similar anti-microbial effects, meropenem can effectively treat the S. marcescens sepsis resistant to imipenem.
粘质沙雷氏菌是一种公认的医院病原体。我们报告了在一家新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)中8名新生儿感染这种病原体的疫情。7例在亚胺培南治疗失败后用美罗培南成功治疗。尽管它们具有相似的抗菌作用,但美罗培南可有效治疗对亚胺培南耐药的粘质沙雷氏菌败血症。
