In April 2011, an outbreak of Serratia marcescens infection/ colonisations occurred in the neonatal intensive care unit of Pescara General Hospital. Rapid microbiological investigations lead to identification of five cases of likely cross-transmission from a neonate hospitalised for S. marcescens sepsis: four infections and one neonate colonised post-mortem. Two low birth weight neonates died. The environmental investigation detected S. marcescens from two soap dispensers. Strict hygiene measures lead to early interruption of the outbreak, without recurrences to date.
2011 年 4 月，佩斯卡拉综合医院新生儿重症监护病房发生粘质沙雷氏菌感染/定植爆发。快速微生物学调查导致鉴定出五例可能的交叉传播病例，这些病例均来自于一名因粘质沙雷氏菌败血症住院的新生儿：四例感染，一例新生儿死后定植。两名低出生体重儿死亡。环境调查从两个皂液器中检测到粘质沙雷氏菌。严格的卫生措施使疫情得到早期中断，至今未再发生。
