Abstract
Serratia ficaria, which was described in 1979 by Grimont et al, is clo sely involved in the ecosystem of figs. Some isolations from human cli nical specimens have been reported but the pathogenicity of the bacter ium has always been open to question. We report the isolation of S. fi caria from gallbladder empyema fluid and discuss its pathogenicity and susceptibility to antibiotics.
