Serratia marcescens is a Gram negative, rod shaped bacterium belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is known to cause several nosocomial infections, especially, catheter-induced bacteremia, UTI, and wound infections.iven its omnipresence in the environment, and its partiality towards moist conditions, S. marcescens proliferates in the bathrooms, where it is seen as a pinkish discoloration and oily film proliferating on soap and shampoo residues and phosphorus-containing materials.
S. marcescens may also be found in environments such as dirt, supposedly sterile places, and the subgingival biofilm of teeth. Due to this, and because S. marcescens produces a reddish-orange tripyrrole pigment called prodigiosin, it may cause staining of the teeth.The biochemical pathway for the production of prodigiosin by S. marcescens is unknown except for the final two steps.ince 1950, S. marcescens has steadily increased as a cause of human infection, with many strains resistant to multiple antibiotics. The first indications of problems with the influenza vaccine produced by Chiron Corporation in 2004 involved S. marcescens contamination.
