Sternal osteitis, a potential consequence of cardiac surgery, remains rare. The bacteria involved belong mostly to the genus Staphylococcus. Sternal infections caused by Serratia marcescens are exceptional. We report an unusual recurrence of sternal infection with S. marcescens, 15 years after the initial episode. The identities of the isolates were determined by genomic analysis.
胸骨骨膜炎是心脏手术后的一种潜在并发症,仍然较为罕见。涉及的细菌主要属于葡萄球菌属。黏质沙雷氏菌引起的胸骨感染则较为罕见。我们报告了一例胸骨感染沙雷氏菌的不常见复发病例,这是在初次发病 15 年后发生的。通过基因组分析确定了分离株的身份。
