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.
在一家重症监护病房相邻床位的四名患者中,耐多种抗生素的粘质沙雷菌导致的菌血症在1周内发生。这些菌株的血清型为O14:H12,且硝酸盐阴性。这种不寻常的生化标志物在此次疫情调查中很有用。
