An 'outbreak' of pulmonary pseudoinfection by Serratia marcescens.

Y Siegman-Igra, G Inbar, A Campus.   

Abstract

The recovery of multiple isolates of Serratia marcescens from bronchial lavage specimens was traced to contaminated fibreoptic bronchoscopes. Four patients were involved and none became infected. Awareness of a cluster of serratia cultures and immediate investigation and institution of control measures may have prevented the occurrence of true infections.
