Serratia ficaria isolated from a leg ulcer.
Serratia ficaria was isolated from culture of a leg ulcer of a 44-year-old woman who had venous insufficiency and alcoholic cirrhosis. Although Pseudomonas maltophilia, P acidovorans, and Enterobacter cloacae were also present, S ficaria was isolated in large numbers and was considered to contribute significantly to this infection. This represents the third known clinical isolation of this bacterium.
