Understanding Serratia bockelmannii transmission during a neonatal intensive care unit outbreak: a combined genotyping and case–control study
The genomic typing was pivotal in confirming clonality across S. bockelmannii isolates with varied antibiograms, and identifying the bacterial species. Serratia bockelmannii should be considered during SMC outbreaks. Incubator-related within-ward transmission highlights the need for tailored risk assessments and disinfection protocols to prevent pathogen transmission and to improve infection prevention protocols.
