摘要: The aim of this study was to the evaluation frequency and distribution Serratia marcescens in hospital departments determination antimicrobial resistance isolated strains. Methods: included 81 strains from 61 patients hospitalized different wards Al-Noor Specialist Hospital within period 1/11/2012 1/11/2013. were wound swabs, blood cultures, sputum, urine culture, fluid, catheter throat swab, cultures cerebrospinal fluid. Results: isolates identified by conventional method results susceptibility testing confirmed VITEC-2 Compact. Most frequently has been implicated ICU [21%] followed male medical [18.5%] emergency department [12.3%]. high, excepting imipenem (15%), Meropenem (27) higher with ampicillin (97.5%), Cefoxitin (90%) Tetracycline (86%). Conclusion: Continuous monitoring nosocomial infections is indispensable. Phenotypic characterization useful for studying relationship microbial pathogens.
