Seems that that dang germ is EVERYWHERE!!

Wicipedia.......

Pathogenesis
S. marcescens can cause conjunctivitis, keratitis, endophthalmitis, and tear duct infections. It is common in the respiratory and urinary tracts of adults and the gastrointestinal system of children.[3] Most S. marcescens strains are resistant to several antibiotics because of the presence of R-factors, which are a type of plasmid that carry one or more genes that encode resistance.

In coral, S. marcescens is the cause of the disease known as White pox.[citation needed] In silkworms, it sometimes occurs as a secondary pathogen in viral flacherie disease.
