Abstract

Serratia species are Gram-negative bacteria that can infect both animals and plants. The annotated genome presented is the first for a Serratia sp. strain (called CC119) that is a cotton boll pathogen. The opportunistic strain is associated with the boll-piercing-sucking insect Creontiades signatus.
