Abstract

Riemerella anatipestifer is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium associated with epizootic infections in poultry. R. anatipestifer strain RA-YM, belonging to the serotype 1 prevalent in China, is a clinically isolated strain with high-level virulence. Here, we report the first genome sequence of this species.
