Sorry - I trusted memory over written materials. S. Marascens is in the Enterobacter family. And yes, it is pathogenic, but does not aerosolize like mycobacteria do. If you have more info on the frequency of M Sarascens infection in people, can you share it please?

@sueinmn Hi Sue, Serratia marcescens does aerosolize. In fact, back in the 1950s the US Military tested it as a bioweapon by spraying it on San Francisco (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/1950-us-released-bioweapon-san-francisco-180955819/)!!!!
I don't have information on the frequency of Serratia marcescens infection in people, sorry.
