r-plasmic transfer from serratia liquefaciens to escherichia coli in vitro and in vivo in the digestive tract of gnotobiotic mice associated with human fecal flora.	it was shown that a strain of serratia liquefaciens harbors a conjugative r-plasmid responsible for reistance to the following 14 antibiotics: ampicillin, carbenicillin, cephalothin, butirosin, neomycin, paramomycin, kanamycin, lividomycin, gentamicin, tobramycin, streptomycin, tetracycline, sulfonamide, and chloramphenicol, which belong to five families, the beta-lactamines, the aminoglycosides, the tetracyclines, the sulfonamides, and the phenicols. resistance to th 14 antibiotics was cotransf ...	1980	6995330
detection of virulence factors in serratia strains isolated from contact lens-associated corneal ulcers.	purpose: this paper reports on the microbiological findings pertaining to three serratia isolates from soft contact lens-related corneal ulcers, which represent a complication of contact lens wear reported with increasing frequency. methods: bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed using the vitek system. serratia's ability to form biofilm, produce gelatinase, elastase and alkaline protease, and invade human corneal epithelial (hce) cells was investigated. ...	2009	19845561
