	<i><span lang=\"EN-US\">Serratia marcescens </span></i><span lang=\"EN-US\">has been recognized as an important cause of nosocomial
and community-acquired infections. To our knowledge, we describe the first case
of <i>S. marcescens </i>rhabdomyolysis, most
probably related to acute cholecystitis and secondary bacteremia. The condition
was successfully managed with levofloxacin. Keeping in mind the relevant
morbidity and mortality associated with bacterial rhabdomyolysis, physicians
should consider this possibility in patients with suspected or proven bacterial
disease. We suggest <i>S. marcescens </i>should
be regarded as a new causative agent of infectious rhabdomyolysis.</span>
