In this article, an 82-year-old female patient admitted to bed, who was a persistent urinary tract infection due to bacteremic urinary tract infection due to <i>S. marcescens, </i> was referred to the literature. In conclusion, it should be kept in mind that <i>S. marcescens </i>and other Gram-negative bacteria may cause bacteraemia-induced urinary tract infections especially in bedridden patients who have persistent urinary incontinence, and urine culture and blood cultures should be taken in these patients. </span> </pre> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={MediHealth Academy Yayıncılık}
