Summary Serratia marcescens is a nosocomial pathogen with carbapenem resistance, which limits the availability of effective treatment options. In this study, we performed molecular characterization of GES-5 carbapenemase-producing S. marcescens isolated from an outbreak in Japan. Comparative genetic analysis revealed that the blaGES-5–encoding plasmid p2020-O-9 is a unique plasmid contributing to carbapenem resistance.
