Do you keep finding pinky slimy stuff in your shower, bathtub, tile, or sink no matter how often you clean your bathroom? The culprit is likely a type of bacteria called Serratia marcescens. Serratia marcescens can be found just about anywhere - including soil or water, and is also carried by air. These bacterial colonies feed off of mineral deposits in soap scum from shampoo and soap residue in showers and bathtubs.
