The CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune system has been attracting increasing scientific interest for biological functions and biotechnological applications. Data on the <i>Serratia marcescens</i> system are scarce. Here, we report a comprehensive characterisation of CRISPR-Cas systems identified in <i>S. marcescens</i> strains isolated as secondary symbionts of <i>Rhynchophorus ferrugineus</i>, also known as Red Palm Weevil (RPW), one of the most invasive pests of major cultivated palms.
