Abstract

Here, we present genomes of three strains of Serratia initially isolated from suburban soil-one strain of S. ureilytica and two strains of S. quinivorans-resistant to multiple classes of antibiotics. This expands the genomic sampling of a group relevant to the ecosystem and human health.

Keywords: antibiotic resistance; comparative genomics; horizontal gene transfer; lateral gene transfer; soil microbiology.
