“…In our study, the cephalosporin resistance rate was lower and all strains were sensitive to imipenem and ciprofloxacin, which is consistent with the results reported by Al Jarousha who reported a sensitivity of 90% to imipenem and 76% to ciprofloxacin [ 4 ]. As for colistin, all our isolated strains were resistant concordant with the results of Buffet-Battailon et al [ 16 ] and those of Adjidé et al [ 15 ]. In addition to the resistance of Serratia to antibiotics, its severity is clear in light of the high mortality rates reported, which varies from 14.3% to 62.5% of cases [ 4 , 5 , 14 , 15 , 17 – 20 ] but in our study, we have a higher rate which was 62.5% ( Table 3 ).…”

“…With regard to the resistance of S. marcescens to antibiotics, high resistance to cephalosporins is often reported which can reach up to 100% [ 13 , 15 ]. In our study, the cephalosporin resistance rate was lower and all strains were sensitive to imipenem and ciprofloxacin, which is consistent with the results reported by Al Jarousha who reported a sensitivity of 90% to imipenem and 76% to ciprofloxacin [ 4 ].…”

Serratia marcescens (S. marcescens) is an Enterobacteriaceae microorganism that is widespread in the environment, which may be the source of nosocomial infections, rare in the newborn but severe, and often in the form of outbreaks. The aim of our study is to report our experience, during an outbreak of S. marcescens, to show the severity of this germ, with review of the literature. Our study was retrospective, including 8 newborns with S. marcescens nosocomial infection, collected in the neonatal intensive care unit of Mohammed VI University Medical Hospital, during the epidemic period, over a period of 2 months (July and August 2016). The mean gestational age of the cases was 36 weeks of amenorrhea. Boys accounted for 75% of the cases. The average weight was 1853 grams. All the patients were initially placed under empiric antibiotic therapy based on ceftriaxone and gentamicin. The mean duration of nosocomial infection, diagnosed in all cases by blood cultures, was 7 days. The strains of S. marcescens were in 75% of the cases sensitive to the cephalosporins, intermediate sensitivity in 12.5% of cases and resistant in 12.5% of cases. The outcome was fatal in 62.5% of cases. S. marcescens nosocomial infections are often reported on epidemic series, and their eradication is not always easy.

“…Neurological complications have recently been reported to be more frequent with Serratia marcescens, namely, meningitis, brain abscess, and empyema, for this it is recommended to systematically perform brain imaging and more particularly transfontanellar ultrasound, even in the absence of neurological signs [2].…”

Serratia is an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium of the Enterobacteriaceae family, occasionally responsible for epidemics of nosocomial infections in critical departments; in particular in neonatal intensive care units Enterobacteriaceae form a large family of Gram-negative bacteria, which cause diseases of highly variable severity, due to distinct pathogenic mechanisms. This family is heterogeneous as it consists of about 30 genera of bacteria and more than 100 species. However, all these germs have in common their preferential location in the digestive system, some being part of the normal flora although they are also present in the environment. Several metabolic processes characterize this bacterial family. These include the ability to reduce nitrate to nitrite (for energy generation), ferment glucose, lack cytochrome oxidase, be aerobic or anaerobic, motile or immobile, … Enterobacteriaceae constitute more than 80% of the germs isolated in the laboratory: Escherichia,
