RNA‑seq analyses of antibiotic resistance mechanisms in Serratia marcescens.

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to further clarify the genetic mechanisms responsible for the antimicrobial resistance of Serratia marcescens (S. marcescens) using RNA sequencing. Three drug‑susceptible S. marcescens strains (named MYQT1, MYQT2, and MYQT3) and three multidrug‑resistant S. marcescens strains (named MYQT4, MYQT5, and MYQT6) were isolated from six different patients and subjected to RNA sequencing. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the multidrug‑resistant S. marcescens strains and drug‑susceptible strains were screened and compared, followed by functional enrichment analysis. In addition, a protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed, and significant modules were extracted from it. Genes enriched in the significant modules were subjected to further enrichmen
