Zusammenfassung

Das Genus Serratia mit der einzigen Species Serratia marcescens bezeichnet kleine Gram-negative Stäbchen, die der Definition der Enterobakterien entsprechen. Sie bilden keine Sporen, sind meist mittels peritricher Geißeln beweglich und lassen sich auf einfachen Nährböden aerob und anaerob leicht züchten. Sie vergären verschiedene Zucker unter Säurebildung ohne oder mit nur geringer Gasbildung und verflüssigen Gelatine. Einzelne Stämme produzieren ein rotes, nicht diffundierendes Pigment. Man findet sie meist als Bodenbewohner oder im Wasser, manchmal auch im tierischen Organismus als Saprophyten und gelegentlich als Infektionserreger. Serratia marcescens ist synonym mit Chromobacterium prodigiosum und Bacillus prodigiosus (6, 34).
