Update on Bacteria (from the chest tube)

It was identified as Serratia. This is his second bout with this nasty bacteria. He had a urinary tract infection that also grew Serratia. He was pretty sick that time too. The Vancomycin is broad enough to treat the Serratia...they will still do a resistance test and may change it up a little bit later. I believe he was on something else before for it.
Just thought I would let you know....one mystery down.
