I had a positive for it along side of the mac at the time with bronchiactisis. No treatment for serrated but after 6months . My retesting shows nothing

Take with a large meal!
I had serratia marsensis coming up for a few months in my Resp culture. Dr Eddy gave 14 days of levofloxacin because I was coughing a lot and I will see if it comes back in my next sputum culture
