Putrescine has a negative effect on health and is also used as an indicator of quality on meat products. We investigated the genes involved in putrescine production by Serratia liquefaciens IFI65 isolated from a spoiled Spanish dry-cured ham. We report here the genetic organization of its ornithine decarboxylase encoding region. The 5,506-bp DNA region showed the presence of three complete and two partial open reading frames. Putative functions have been assigned to several gene products by sequence comparison with proteins included in the databases
