In elkhorn coral, S. marcescens is the cause of the disease known as white pox disease. [16] In silkworms, it can also cause a lethal disease, especially in association with other pathogens. [17] In research laboratories employing Drosophila fruit flies, infection of them with S. marcescens is common. It manifests as a pink discoloration or ...
Bacteria characterized by a huge diversity of morphology, starting with color, texture ending with shape of colony and their odor. In this photo we can see a plate with bacterial smears. From the left: Serratia marcescens, at the top: Micrococcus luteus and on the right: Staphylococcus epidermidis.
S. marcescens on an agar plate. The pathogen responsible is believed to be Serratia marcescens, a common intestinal bacterium found in humans and other animals. [1] [6] This is the first time it has been linked to the death of coral. [7]
The last documented infection caused by S. ficaria was in Greece. A healthy man was bitten by a dog, and the dog bite turned into an abscess. This was the first infection recorded in a healthy individual. S. fonticola was first found in human specimens in 1985. [18] It is known to cause tissue infections following trauma to the area. [19]
Operation Sea-Spray was a 1950 U.S. Navy secret biological warfare experiment in which Serratia marcescens and Bacillus globigii bacteria were sprayed over the San Francisco Bay Area in California, in order to determine how vulnerable a city like San Francisco may be to a bioweapon attack, killing at least one American and sickening at least 10 more.
The bacteria releases a toxin that causes a bright red blotchy rash that has a sandpaper-like texture, and the rash can spread to the entire body and usually first appears on the groin, neck, and ...
Infectious disease experts explain the risks. The CDC issued a warning about flesh-eating bacteria vibrio vulnificus after six people died on the East Coast. Infectious disease experts explain the ...
This either alone or in combination with bacterial infection destroys the gut tissue. Bacterial pathogens contributing to infectious flaccherie are Serratia marcescens, and species of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus in the form known as thatte roga. In the nineteenth century, flacherie resisted the efforts of Louis Pasteur. [2]
