Extra Details:: Serratia marcescens is a species of Gram-negative bacteria in the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is a broad host range pathogen, and is also capable of opportunistic infections of humans. Some strains of S. marcescens are capable of producing a pigment called prodigiosin, which ranges in color from dark red to pale pink. S. marcescens is a rod shaped, motile organism and can grow in temperatures ranging from 5-40°C and in pH levels ranging from pH 5 to pH 9. S. marcescens is involved in hospital-acquired infections, particularly in urinary tract and wound infections. Serratia species cause 1.4% of nosocomial bloodstream infections with an associated mortality of 25% [in USA]. Most S. marcescens strains are resistant to several antibiotics because of the presence of R factors in plasmids. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunohistochemistry and Immunofluorescence/Immunocytochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Immunohistochemistry (Frozen): 1:50-1:100 (1-2ug/ml) Immunofluorescence (IC): 1:100-1:200 (0.5-1ug/ml) Optimal dilutions to be determined by researcher. Positive Control: S. marcescens extract or infected cells or tissue. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at 4°C. Do not freeze.
