It is some sort of microorganism, a mold probably, that loves dark, wet areas. It WILL be back. It is deterred with bleach and brushing, but hard to say an absolute good bye too. The high humidity in the shower helps it grow too. Sometimes squirting bleach spray after the shower helps. Wiping the shower down to dry does too. Not too many takers on that. Running your exhaust fan for awhile after the shower helps too. Mostly we shower, and run to the next activity. I don't think it is a mold that can harm you, just not pretty.
