Abstract
Serratia fonticola is a Gram-negative bacterium with a wide distribution in aquatic environments. On some occasions, it has also been regarded as a significant human pathogen. In this work, we report the first draft genome sequence of an S. fonticola strain (LMG 7882T), which was isolated from freshwater.

The S. fonticola LMG 7882T draft genome sequence has been deposited in GenBank under the accession no
Summary
Serratia fonticola is a Gram-negative bacterium with a wide distribution in aquatic environments. The genus Serratia comprises Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobes in the family Enterobacteriaceae. Members of this genus have been associated with a variety of habitats, such as water, soil, insects, plants, and humans [1]. The genus includes strains that cause important infections in humans and other animals, strains belonging to the species Serratia marcescens and the so-called Serratia liquefaciens-like species [1].
