Complete Genome Sequence of the Pathogenic Bacterium Riemerella anatipestifer Strain RA-GD

Abstract

Riemerella anatipestifer is a well-described pathogen of waterfowl and other avian species which can cause a great loss to the poultry industry. Here we obtained the complete genome sequence of R. anatipestifer strain RA-GD, which was isolated from an infected duck in Guangzhou, China, and was cultivated in our laboratory.
