KPC-3–Producing Serratia marcescens Outbreak between Acute and Long-Term Care Facilities, Florida, USA

We describe an outbreak caused by Serratia marcescens carrying bla(KPC-3) that was sourced to a long-term care facility in Florida, USA. Whole-genome sequencing and plasmid profiling showed involvement of 3 clonal lineages of S. marcescens and 2 bla(KPC-3)-carrying plasmids. Determining the resistan...

Sumario:We describe an outbreak caused by Serratia marcescens carrying bla(KPC-3) that was sourced to a long-term care facility in Florida, USA. Whole-genome sequencing and plasmid profiling showed involvement of 3 clonal lineages of S. marcescens and 2 bla(KPC-3)-carrying plasmids. Determining the resistance mechanism is critical for timely implementation of infection control measures.
