Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health threat. Therefore, surveillance studies are important tools to help direct antimicrobial use. The aim of this study was to investigate antimicrobial resistance in Serratia marcescens isolates collected in 2016-2017 at eight medical centers from two regions of Mexico. Selected S. marcescens isolates were further tested by polymerase chain reaction to detect the presence of genes encoding the β-lactamases, SHV, TEM or CTX. Antimicrobial resistance continues to be high in Mexico, particularly to ciprofloxacin and aminoglycosides. Also, a widespread prevalence of blaTEM was detected in S. marcescens isolates.Entities:
