Abstract

Riemerella anatipestifer is an important pathogenic bacterium in waterfowl and other avian species. We present here the genome sequence of R. anatipestifer RCAD0122, a multidrug-resistant strain isolated from infected ducks. The isolate contains at least nine types of antibiotic resistance-associated genes.

Highlights

Riemerella anatipestifer is an important pathogenic bacterium in waterfowl and other avian species
RCAD0122, a strain isolated from the livers of ducks in China, has been proven to be resistant to multiple antibiotics; these antibiotics include ␤-lactamases, fluoroquinolones, chloramphenicol, lincosamide, sulfonamides, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, glycopeptide antibiotics, and erythrocin
The results indicated that the genome has 2,021 genes, 2,021 coding sequences (CDSs), 36 tRNAs, 6 rRNAs, and 3 noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs)

Summary

Introduction

Riemerella anatipestifer is an important pathogenic bacterium in waterfowl and other avian species. Only one genome sequence of multidrug-resistant R. anatipestifer strains has been reported [2]. RCAD0122, a strain isolated from the livers of ducks in China, has been proven to be resistant to multiple antibiotics; these antibiotics include ␤-lactamases, fluoroquinolones, chloramphenicol, lincosamide, sulfonamides, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, glycopeptide antibiotics, and erythrocin.
