RESUMO
Serratia plymuthica was isolated from the blood and from a central venous catheter tip in a 54-year-old man with alcoholic cirrhosis and clinical signs of sepsis. This was the seventh reported isolate of S. plymuthica from a clinical specimen and the first in which the organism was clearly a significant pathogen.
