Abstract excerpt
Serratia marcescens is an emerging opportunistic pathogen with a remarkably broad host range. The cAMP-regulated catabolite repression system of S. marcescens has recently been identified and demonstrated to regulate biofilm formation through the production of surface adhesions. Here we report that mutations in components of the catabolite repression system (cyaA and crp) eliminate flagellum production and...
