Abstract

Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic human pathogen with multiple resistance mechanisms that infects hospitalized patients. Here, we report the full genome sequence of S. marcescens podophage Parlo. Parlo is most similar to Erwinia phage PEp14 and encodes a 3,764-residue protein assumed to be a homolog of DarB, an antirestriction protein.
