Abstract

Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic pathogen that typically infects the respiratory and urinary tract, with the majority of cases being hospital acquired. The study of S. marcescens phages may help control drug-resistant S. marcescens strains. In this study, we announce the complete genome sequence and the features of S. marcescens siphophage Scapp.
