| serratia infections | Infections with bacteria of the genus serratia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Serratia marcescens | A gram-negative bacterium that is very common in soil and water, most strains produce a characteristic pigment, prodigiosin. Opportunistic human pathogens, infecting mainly hospital patients. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Serratia marcescens nuclease | <enzyme> Formerly EC 3.1.4.9; acts on DNA, RNA and double-stranded homopolymers such as poly i-c; has been sequenced, genbank m19495 Registry number: EC 3.1.30.2 Synonym: nucleate endonuclease, nuclease o, endonuclease (serratia marcescens), nuclease sm, nuclease sm1, nuclease sm2, extracellular nuclease, serratia marcescens (26 Jun 1999) |
| endonuclease Serratia marcescens | A nuclease (a nucleate oligonucleotidohydrolase) that forms oligonucleotides ending in 5'-phosphates from RNA and DNA; hydrolyzes both double-stranded and single-stranded polynucleic acids. Synonym: nucleate endonuclease. (05 Mar 2000) |
