Abstract
Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic human pathogen that is known to cause hospital-acquired respiratory and urinary tract infections. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence and the features of S. marcescens phage Serbin.
Highlights
Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic pathogen that typically infects the respiratory and urinary tract, with the majority of cases being hospital acquired
Using the progressiveMAUVE algorithm (v2.4.0) [15], Scapp shows less than 20% DNA sequence similarity to any other phage in the NCBI nucleotide database
The Scapp genome begins with an ϳ6,000-bp region that contains novel genes with no sequence similarity to other proteins in the NCBI nonredundant database
Summary
Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic pathogen that typically infects the respiratory and urinary tract, with the majority of cases being hospital acquired. The complete 42,969-bp Scapp genome was assembled at 192.1-fold coverage. It has 59 protein-coding genes, an overall coding density of 93%, and a GC content of 56%.
