%X Serratia
is an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium of the Enterobacteriaceae family,
occasionally responsible for epidemics of nosocomial infections in critical
departments</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">;</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> in
particular in neonatal intensive care units Enterobacteriaceae form a large
family of Gram-negative bacteria, which cause diseases of highly variable
severity, due to distinct pathogenic mechanisms. This family is heterogeneous
as it consists of about 30 genera of bacteria and more than 100 species.
However, all these germs have in common their preferential location in the
digestive system, some being part of the normal flora although they are also
present in the environment. Several metabolic processes characterize this
bacterial family. These include the ability to reduce nitrate to nitrite (for
energy generation), ferment glucose, lack cytochrome oxidase, be aerobic or
anaerobic, motile or immobile, </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">бн </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Enterobacteriaceae constitute more than 80% of the germs isolated in the
laboratory: </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Escherichia</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Salmonella</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Shigella</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Klebsiella</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Enterobacter</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Serratia</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Proteus</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Morganella</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Yersinia</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> are the rods most often found. Regarding nosocomial
infection to Serratia, this bacterium colonizes the respiratory, digestive and
urinary systems of patients, mainly responsible for bacteremia, infections of
the lower respiratory tract, urinary and skin infections. Through our work</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> we report the epidemic
experienced in the neonatal intensive care unit
