About Serratia complicated UTI.

A *Serratia* complicated urinary tract infection refers to an infection of the urinary tract caused by opportunistic, Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Serratia* (predominantly *Serratia marcescens*) occurring in the presence of factors that increase the risk of treatment failure or serious complications.

Typically acquired in healthcare or nosocomial settings, it disproportionately affects hospitalized patients, older adults, and individuals with indwelling urinary catheters, recent urologic instrumentation, structural or functional urinary tract abnormalities, or underlying immunosuppression.

Pathophysiologically, the organism colonizes mucosal surfaces and foreign devices via biofilm formation, presenting clinically with dysuria, fever, flank pain, or acute pyelonephritis, and carrying an elevated risk of progressing to bacteremia, perinephric abscess, or urosepsis.
