Shimuta, K, Ohnishi, M, Iyoda, S, Gotoh, N, Koizumi, N and Watanabe, H (2009) The hemolytic and cytolytic activities of Serratia marcescens phospholipase A (PhlA) depend on lysophospholipid production by PhlA. BMC Microbiol. 9:261

Abstract

Serratia marcescens is a gram-negative bacterium and often causes nosocomial infections. There have been few studies of the virulence factors of this bacterium. The only S. marcescens hemolytic and cytotoxic factor reported, thus far, is the hemolysin ShlA.

ShlAB was responsible for direct contact hemolysis. PhlAB was responsible for extracellular hemolysis without contact. Figure 2 shows how mutants lacking PhlAB lost their hemolytic ability without contact. When these cells were given PhlAB, they regained their hemolytic activity without needing contact.
