VEGA, Juana et al. First nosocomial outbreak of SME-4-producing Serratia marcescens in South America. Rev. argent. microbiol. [online]. 2023, vol.55, n.3, pp.9-9. ISSN 0325-7541. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ram.2023.02.002.
Carbapenemase-producing-Serratia marcescens isolates, although infrequent, are considered important nosocomial pathogens due to their intrinsic resistance to polymyxins, which limits therapeutic options. We describe a nosocomial outbreak of SME-4-producing S. marcescens in Buenos Aires city which, in our knowledge, represents the first one in South America.
