摘要：

We report an outbreak of Serratia marcescens infection in the neonatal intensive care unit of a community hospital. The outbreak involved eight neonates, (five infected and three colonized), one of whom died. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis confirmed that all isolates were identical strains. Cohorting and isolation of the infected neonates helped to control the outbreak. No environmental source of infection was found (Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2001;22:303-305).
