Serratia Marcescens

Glennice Fryson (Florida) on 02/19/2016

Hi, I have been diagnosed with Serratia M. I took an antibiotic for 5 days (Levo) but still seem to have a cough that makes me heave as if something is in me the body does not like and wants out. I also have an awful lot of mucus producing at night. When awaking, I get rid of all this and am fine for the majority of the day.

My concern is I want it out of me and the antibiotic did not seem to do this or kill all of it. I am scared silly that my sons may get this. I am the epitomy of clean, but have to admit it is hard cleaning a 3025 square foot home regularly.

I am ready to vacate the home and leave it to the mortgage company, get out and go somewhere I feel is not an issue. When first buying the home, after one week I noticed the red color in the commode. I asked then and was advised this is not an issue, keep commodes clean with bleach added regularly and no problem. No one said this could be airborne and cause major issues. I am inclined to sue to get this cleared or the property returned.

Brother Developed Gram-Negative Bacteria Serratia Marcescens After Surgery

Sonyae (Tupelo, Ms) on 01/05/2014

Hi, my name is Sonya and my brother has developed Serratia Marcescens from having surgery on his tricep muscle and has been in the hospital several days with iv antibiotics without any change...I am of course very worried. He is 43 yrs old and is a smoker but pretty good health overall. Is there anything that can be done besides bombarding his body with antibiotics? I know he should be taking probiotics and I believe Florastor is good? Please do you have any info that could help us? Thank u

Multiple Remedies Tried for Acinetobacter Scalp Infection

4 out of 5 stars

Hi, I am a 35 yr old female. I just was told that I have this bacteria infection on my scalp. It is called acinetobacter luoffi. I have had a staph infection on my scalp before and had to take antiobiotics for it. I have been trying a home remedy of listerine and neosporin then lavender and coconut oil (not completely working but is helping me to be able to handle the itch and burn) before I went to the doctor. I went to the doctor, thus the diagnosis of this acinetobacter luoffi.

My question is what would be the best home treatment for it as I do not want to take antibiotics. I was reading about the hydrogen peroxide and apple cider vinegar mixed with water. Is there anything else and will this bleach my hair?
