Abstract

Serratia marcescens (S. marcescens) is a Gram negative bacilli in the family Enterobactericea and is an important cause of health care-related infections and intensive care outbreaks. In this article, an 82-year-old female patient admitted to bed, who was a persistent urinary tract infection due to bacteremic urinary tract infection due to S. marcescens, was referred to the literature. In conclusion, it should be kept in mind that S. marcescens and other Gram-negative bacteria may cause bacteraemiainduced urinary tract infections especially in bedridden patients who have persistent urinary incontinence, and urine culture and blood cultures should be taken in these patients.
