Serratia urinary tract infection

A *Serratia* urinary tract infection is an infection of the lower or upper urinary tract caused by opportunistic, Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Serratia*, most notably *Serratia marcescens*

A *Serratia* urinary tract infection is an infection of the lower or upper urinary tract caused by opportunistic, Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Serratia*, most notably *Serratia marcescens* This condition primarily affects hospitalized, institutionalized, or immunocompromised patients, frequently occurring as a healthcare-associated or catheter-associated infection following urologic instrumentation or prolonged bladder catheterization

Clinically, it manifests with dysuria, urinary frequency, suprapubic discomfort, pyuria, or fever and costovertebral angle tenderness in upper-tract involvement, often complicated by intrinsic and acquired resistance to multiple conventional antimicrobial agents
