加勒比鹿角珊瑚（Acropora palmata）近年来遭到大量屠杀，导致该物种被美国《濒危物种法》列为受威胁物种。导致这一标志性物种数量减少的一个主要因素是白痘病。2002年，我们确定了粪肠杆菌粘质沙雷氏菌是白痘的病原。在2003年疫情期间，在人类污水和白痘病变中发现了一种独特的粘质葡萄球菌菌株。该菌株（PDR60）也在珊瑚螺（Coralliophila缩写ata）、礁水和两种非acroporid珊瑚（Siderastrea siderea和Solenastrea bournoni）中被鉴定出。在一个离散的时间框架内，在污水、患病的棕榈Acropora和其他珊瑚礁无脊椎动物中发现了PDR60，这表明白痘与珊瑚礁上的污水污染之间存在因果关系，并支持人类可能是这种疾病来源的结论。
Caribbean elkhorn coral, Acropora palmata, has been decimated in recent years, resulting in the listing of this species as threatened under the United States Endangered Species Act. A major contributing factor in the decline of this iconic species is white pox disease. In 2002, we identified the faecal enterobacterium, Serratia marcescens, as an etiological agent for white pox. During outbreaks in 2003 a unique strain of S. marcescens was identified in both human sewage and white pox lesions. This strain (PDR60) was also identified from corallivorious snails (Coralliophila abbreviata), reef water, and two non-acroporid coral species, Siderastrea siderea and Solenastrea bournoni. Identification of PDR60 in sewage, diseased Acropora palmata and other reef invertebrates within a discrete time frame suggests a causal link between white pox and sewage contamination on reefs and supports the conclusion that humans are a likely source of this disease.
