On this page about Serratia:
Serratia is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family. The most common species in the genus, S. marcescens, is normally the only pathogen and usually causes nosocomial infections. However, rare strains of S. plymuthica, S. liquefaciens, S. rubidaea, and S. odoriferae have caused diseases through infection.[1] Members of this genus produce characteristic red pigment, prodigiosin, and can be distinguished from other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae by its production of three unique enzymes: DNase, lipase, and gelatinase.[2]
Serratia marcescens is a Gram negative bacterium, a human pathogen of the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is involved in nosocomial infections, particularly urinary tract infections and wound infections. Most strains are resistant to several antibiotics because of the presence of R-factors on...
