Whole-genome sequencing of Riemerella anatipestifer isolate RCAD0122 revealed a chromosomally located β-lactamase gene, <i>bla</i><sub>RAA-1</sub>, which encoded a novel class A extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), RAA-1. RAA-1 shared ≤65% amino acid sequence identity with other characterized β-lactamases. The kinetic assay of native purified RAA-1 revealed ESBL-like hydrolysis activity. Furthermore, <i>bla</i><sub>RAA-1</sub> could be transferred to a homologous strain by natural transformatio ...[more]
