Molecular Epidemiology of Clinical Infections Caused by Serratia marcescens Complex in a Tertiary Care Hospital System: Insights From Whole-Genome Sequencing
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic AmpC β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales associated with intensive care unit outbreaks, causing high morbidity and mortality. The spatiotemporal dynamics of Serratia species and their implications for hospital infection prevention and control remain understudied.
METHODS: We prospectively identified patient culture specimens in a multihospital academic healthcare system from 2022 to 2024. …
