Whole-genome sequencing of Riemerella anatipestifer isolate RCAD0122 identified a novel ESBL gene, bla(RAA-1), which encoded a class A extended-spectrum beta-lactamase with low sequence identity to known beta-lactamases. The purified RAA-1 showed ESBL-like hydrolysis activity, and the gene could be transferred to a homologous strain through natural transformation. However, epidemiological study revealed the gene is not currently prevalent.
Whole-genome sequencing of Riemerella anatipestifer isolate RCAD0122 revealed a chromosomally located beta-lactamase gene, bla(RAA-1), which encoded a novel class A extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), RAA-1. RAA-1 shared <= 65% amino acid sequence identity with other characterized beta-lactamases. The kinetic assay of native purified RAA-1 revealed ESBL-like hydrolysis activity. Furthermore, bla(RAA)(-1), could be transferred to a homologous strain by natural transformation. However, an epidemiological study showed that the bla(RAA)(-1) gene is not prevalent currently.
