Serratia marcescens (SM) относится к актуальным возбудителям оппортунистических инфекций. Обзор содержит анализ данных, посвящённых значению SM в медицинской практике. Подробно проанализированы молекулярно-генетические предикторы вирулентности и антибиотикорезистентности этого патогена. Рассматриваются основные методы типирования SM. Описаны разнообразные формы инфекций, вызываемых SM, — как локальные, так и генерализованные.

Serratia marcescens (SM) is among the most relevant pathogens of opportunistic infections. This review contains an analysis of the literature data on the importance of serrations in medical practice. Molecular genetic predictors of virulence and antibiotic resistance of this pathogen were analyzed in detail. The review discusses the main methods of typing SM. Various local and generalized s of infections caused by SM are described.
