Serratia organizms occur in soil, dairy products, water and sewage, as well as in the intestinal and upper respiratory tract of man and animals.

Serratia usually infect patients with debilitating disorders, or under treatment with broad-spectrum antimicrobics. or subjected to instrumentation such as tracheostomy tubes or indwelling catheters and can cause endocarditis, osteomyelitis, sepsis, wound, urinary and respiratory tract infections. ¡Journal ofTurgut Ozal Medical Center 1(3):210-212,1994]
