Genome sequence reveals hospital-acquired infections from Serratia marcescens in Periplaneta americana, suggesting public health risks.
Hospital-acquired infections caused by Serratia marcescens are steadily increasing worldwide. Here, we report complete genome sequences of S. marcescens CH31, isolated from Periplaneta americana collected in the periphery of a Mexican tertiary hospital. The 5,627,793 bp genome (58.96% guanine-cytosine) consists of a chromosome and a plasmid.
