These can present with a palpable defect in the muscle or tendon. However, swelling in the area may make this difficult to appreciate. These injuries sometimes require surgery to reattach the damaged muscle and tendon. An x-ray may be helpful to rule out a fracture or dislocation as the cause of pain.
The most likely cause is an airborne bacteria called Serratia Marcescens. This bacteria is common and generally grows in damp conditions such as those found in bathrooms and kitchens. Serratia produces a pinkish film on surfaces that are regularly moist and subject to humid conditions.he most likely cause is an airborne bacteria called Serratia Marcescens.

Spore-forming Serratia marcescens subsp. sakuensis subsp. nov., isolated from a domestic wastewater treatment tank.Ajithkumar B, Ajithkumar VP, Iriye R, Doi Y, Sakai T. A strain (KREDT) that formed endospores and produced the pigment prodigiosin was isolated from activated sludge.The presence of spores in cells of strain KREDT was evident upon electron microscopy examination, heat treatment and the detection of dipicolinic acid in the cells.Biochemical characteristics, and 16S rDNA sequence and DNA-DNA homology data identified strain KREDT as Serratia marcescens.ere, it is shown that strain KREDT (JCM 11315T = CIP 107489T) represents a novel subspecies of S. marcescens, for which the name Serratia marcescens subsp. sakuensis is proposed.
