A 41-year-old man presented with hypertension and hemoptysis. Blood cultures were obtained that showed bacteremia by<jats:italic>Serratia marcescens<\/jats:italic>. An echocardiogram was carried out that revealed severe mitral regurgitation accompanying ruptured mitral chordae tendineae. The patient received the appropriate antibiotic treatment, without further surgical intervention.<jats:italic>Discussion.<\/jats:italic>Hospital-acquired infections by<jats:italic>Serratia<\/jats:italic>species are a common problem in medical practice and have been attributed to specialized interventional procedures. Taking into consideration the patient\u2019s immunocompetence and lack of intravenous drug use, it is possible that bacteremia could be attributed to a medical procedure. Moreover, in contrast to most cases described in the literature, no surgery was performed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2019\/3715404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,20]],"date-time":"2019-06-20T23:31:02Z","timestamp":1561073462000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A
