Sepsis caused by Serratia

Sepsis caused by *Serratia* is a life-threatening, dysregulated systemic inflammatory response to an invasive bloodstream infection by Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Serratia*, most frequently *Serratia marcescens* Pathophysiologically, the entry of the organism and release of bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides) trigger widespread endothelial damage, capillary leak, and microvascular thrombosis

This opportunistic infection primarily affects hospitalized, critically ill, and immunocompromised individuals, including neonates in intensive care units and patients with indwelling vascular catheters, urinary catheters, or mechanical ventilation

Pathophysiologically, the entry of the organism and release of bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides) trigger widespread endothelial damage, capillary leak, and microvascular thrombosis Defining clinical features include systemic inflammatory manifestations such as fever or hypothermia, tachycardia, and tachypnea, which can rapidly progress to severe organ dysfunction, arterial hypotension, and septic shock
