Abstract
Riemerella anatipestifer is a pathogenic bacterium that has spread all over the world and is associated with epizootic infections in waterfowl and other avian species. R. anatipestifer RA-SG is an avirulent strain, isolated from an infected duck in Guangdong province, China. The genome sequence of this species is presented herein.
Highlights
Riemerella anatipestifer is a pathogenic bacterium that has spread all over the world and is associated with epizootic infections in waterfowl and other avian species
Riemerella anatipestifer, a Gram-negative, gliding-motile, and non-spore-forming rod-shaped bacterium, is the etiological agent of a contagious septicemic disease in waterfowl and other avian species [1, 2]; according to 16S rRNA gene analysis, it belongs to the family Flavobacteriaceae [3, 4]
Genome annotation was generated by searching against the NCBI nonredundant (NR), Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL, Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COGs), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases [15, 16]
Summary
Riemerella anatipestifer is a pathogenic bacterium that has spread all over the world and is associated with epizootic infections in waterfowl and other avian species. Riemerella anatipestifer, a Gram-negative, gliding-motile, and non-spore-forming rod-shaped bacterium, is the etiological agent of a contagious septicemic disease in waterfowl and other avian species [1, 2]; according to 16S rRNA gene analysis, it belongs to the family Flavobacteriaceae [3, 4]. Three genome sequences of R. anatipestifer have been reported until now, those of strains ATCC 11845, RA-GD, and RA-YM [7,8,9,10]. We sequenced the genome of R. anatipestifer RA-SG, an avirulent strain.
