Serratia
''Serratia'' is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. They are typically 1–5 μm in length, do not produce spores, and can be found in water, soil, plants, and animals. Some members of this genus produce a characteristic red pigment, prodigiosin, and can be distinguished from other members of the order Enterobacterales by their unique production of three enzymes: DNase ( nucA), lipase, and gelatinase ( serralysin). ''Serratia'' was thought to be a harmless environmental bacteria until it was discovered that the most common species in the genus, ''S. marcescens'', is an opportunistic pathogen of many animals, including humans. In humans, ''S. marcescens'' is mostly associated with nosocomial, or hospital-acquired, infections, but can also cause urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and endocarditis. ''S. marcescens'' is frequently found in showers, toilet bowls, and around wet tiles as a pinkish to red bio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Serratia Myotis
''Serratia'' is a genus of Gram-negative, Facultative anaerobic organism, facultatively anaerobic, Bacillus, rod-shaped bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. They are typically 1–5 μm in length, do not produce spores, and can be found in water, soil, plants, and animals. Some members of this genus produce a characteristic red pigment, prodigiosin, and can be distinguished from other members of the order Enterobacterales by their unique production of three enzymes: DNase (Serratia marcescens nuclease, nucA), lipase, and gelatinase (serralysin).
