Importance:
Riemerella anatipestifer (R. anatipestifer) is one of the most important veterinary pathogens with at least 21 serotypes. However, the exact polysaccharide(s) that determine R. anatipestifer serotype is still unknown. This study has provided a preliminary exploration of the relationship between capsular polysaccharides and serotyping in R. anatipestifer and suggests possible directions for further investigation of the genetic basis of serotypes in this bacterium.
