ABSTRACT

Serratia marcescens is a Gram negative bacterium belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, that has become an important opportunistic pathogen associated with a number of life-threatening diseases and nosocomial infections, particularly of urinary and respiratory tracts infections in patients with debilitating illness and outbreaks of sepsis in special care units, in addition, is an important cause of many different illness like meningitis, sepsis, endocarditis and osteomyelitis. Most efforts have been directed at identifying the phenotype of S. marcescesns. However little is known about de outer membrane antigens of this bacterium, and how they is relate to its pathogenicity. Studies examining this question have looked mostly at the antigenic basis serum resistance.
