摘要
Serratia marcescens is widely distributed in nature. Pigmented and non-pigmented strains are found from time to time in the human respiratory tract, faeces, urine, wounds and blood. Most infections are nosocomial. We isolated a pigmented Serratia marcescens strain from sputum of a patient who was admitted with fever and chest symptoms. Isolation of Serratia species as a nosocomial organism is an occasional finding. However, community acquired Serratia pneumonia is uncommon, hence we are reporting this case study.
