Abstract
Cultures of Serralia even when unpigmented can be identified by their flagella which have an unusual coiled shape. Serratia cultures isolated from clinical materials are lactose negative, imvic − − + +, sulphide negative, anerogenic, and have a distinctive pattern of fermentative abilities. A different Serratia, not so far encountered in clinical materials, is also described. The literature on isolation of Serralia from man and animals is summarized.Keywords
