<i>Serratia nevei</i> in Nigeria: First Report and Global Distribution.

ABSTRACT: Serratia species are opportunistic human pathogens found in diverse environmental habitats. Here, we report the first isolation of Serratia nevei from food samples in Nigeria. During a two-month epidemiological surveillance at a local food market in Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State, Nigeria, a total of 180 food samples were collected, and isolation and species identification were performed using chromogenic agar and MicroScan autoSCAN-4, respectively. Antimicrobial susceptibility and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined using the MicroScan autoSCAN-4 system. Strain F129B, recovered from a fresh, unprocessed beef sample, was initially identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae by chromogenic agar and MicroScan autoSCAN-4, and subsequently as Serratia marcescens<
