The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a bacterial nanomachine that fires toxic proteins into target cells. Deployment of the T6SS represents an efficient and widespread means by which bacteria attack competitors or interact with host organisms and may be triggered by contact from an attacking neighbor cell as a defensive strategy. Here, we use the opportunist pathogen Serratia marcescens and f...

The culture and biochemical features of 10 non-chromogenic variants of S. marcescens isolated from clinical sources are reported. Autoagglutination titres were significantly high in sera from those patients in whom Serratia bacilli appeared to contribute to the illness. Since the taxonomic stature of the Serratia bacilli is not clear it might be better to limit the identification of this group ...

objective(s):   the production of nano-hydroxyapatite by two encapsulated bacterial strains was the goal of current research.  materials and methods:   serratia marcscens atcc 14756 and pseudomonas aeruginosa ptcc 1570 were used by two methods including encapsulated form in 2% (w/v) alginate sodium powder and inoculated form (10%) in nutrient broth medium containing alginate sodium blank beads....

The antibiogram of pigmented 08 and nonpigmented Bizio strains of Serratia marcescens was determined. Their lipid content was also analyzed.

Serratia marcescens NJ01, a Gram-negative bacterium, can infect tomato leaves and cause chlorosis wilting. The present study evaluated the quorum sensing (QS) biofilm inhibitory effects of ...

Serratia marcescens is an important opportunistic pathogen combining a propensity for healthcare-associated infection and antimicrobial resistance. Outbreaks are frequently reported in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).
