Serratia marcescens strains implicated in adverse transfusion reactions form biofilms in platelet concentrates and demonstrate reduced detection by automated culture.

abstract：:We developed a new filter, 'Sepacell-PL', consisting of a blood administration set for the preparation of leukocyte-poor platelet concentrates at the patient's bedside. This filter is packed with 1.8 microns polyester fibers coated with a new polymer, and has a volume of 14 ml. Sepacell-PL removed more than 99% of the...
