Bizio named the genus Serratia in honor of and Italian physicist named Serratia, and chose marcescens for the species name after the Latin word for decay . Serratia marcescens was first thought to be harmless (non-pathogenic)… CHARACTERISTIC… Serratia marcescens is a motile,short rod-shaped, Gram-negative, facultative anaerobe bacterium, classified as an opportunistic pathogen. Serratia marcescens (S. marcescens) is a gram-negative bacillus that occurs naturally in soil and water and produces a red pigment at room temperature. The tube O-agglutination test compared favorably with the indirect hemagglutination technic, although the latter technic yielded significantly higher O-agglutinin titers with merely 7 of the 15 O-antigens of S. marcescens. The bacteria can produce prodigiosin, a pigment color that ranges from lights pink to dark red.

The tube O-agglutination test permitted detection of higher O-agglutinin titers than a microtiter O-agglutination test utilizing O-cells that had been stained with safranin O. Conversely, titers obtained with TTC-stained O-cells in a microtiter agglutination procedure approximated those yielded by the tube O-agglutination test, but O-cells of the various S. marcescens strains were stained nonuniformly by triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC). Infections caused by S. marcescens are very difficult to treat due to their resistance to many antibiotics, which often leads to specific and prolonged treatment.
