The Kiss of Death: Serratia marcescens Antibacterial Activities against Staphylococcus aureus Requires Both de novo Prodigiosin Synthesis and Direct Contact

ABSTRACT Prodigiosin possesses antibacterial activities, but as a highly hydrophobic compound, it raised the question about how Serratia marcescens introduce this compound to other microbes. Here, we demonstrate that the production of prodigiosin by newly isolated S. marcescens RH10 correlates with...
