Abstract excerpt

Several clinical isolates of Serratia marcescens were found to dissociate on peptone glycerol agar into colonies with red and pink or white and gray phenotypes that differ in the expression of proteolytic activity and mannose-sensitive type of hemagglutination. Colonies of red and white type were...
