At the risk of seeming pedantic, I looked it up. "serratia marcescens" The reason I looked it up is that I have a lung, cold like sickness that looks suspiciously the symtoms from infection caused by this. Went to the PCP, day before yesterday. He told me to give it (my cold) three more days. It is bacterial, but resistant to antibiotics. I wash all my equipment carefully as I do when I have colds to keep reinfecting me. So right now I'm hoping it is a cold.

@dalebout123 My thoughts went write to serratia.....it loves moist warm areas and is rather hard to get rid of....most times you can Identify it as it has a pinkish color to it. Had an outbreak on the Urology Unit I worked on as a RN.... source was a water leak in the Cysto Clinic!
