Abstract
Serratia marcescens ATCC 13880 is the type strain of the species and a commonly used quality control strain. Here, we present the annotated genome assembly of 5.13 Mbp (59.8% G+C content) as submitted to NCBI under accession no. JOVM00000000.
Highlights
We sequenced and assembled the genome of Serratia marcescens ATCC 13880 (CDC 81360, NCTC 10211) the type strain of the species originally isolated from pond water
The type strain sequenced here is used in many research and diagnostic applications as a control strain
High-quality genomic DNA was extracted from purified isolates of each strain using a QIAgen Genome Tip-500 at USARMIID-Diagnostic Systems Division (DSD)
Summary
We sequenced and assembled the genome of Serratia marcescens ATCC 13880 (CDC 81360, NCTC 10211) the type strain of the species originally isolated from pond water. The species has the ability to infect plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates [1]. Generally found in children and the immunocompromised, may include a variety of organ systems and is often resistant to common antibiotics [2, 3]. The type strain sequenced here is used in many research and diagnostic applications as a control strain.
