Abstract

In the present study, 23 of Serratia isolates were isolated and identified using API 20E test, Antibiotic resistant patterns, SDS-PAGE, DNA fingerprinting based on Repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) and, Enterobacterial repetitive inergenic consensus (ERIC) was carried out. The isolates were allocated to Serratia with high identification probability 99.9%. Out of this isolates, there are 9 isolates identified as Serratia marcescens and 14 identified as Serratia liquefaciens.
