Abstract: In order to understand the drug resistance of Riemerella anatipestifer from Muscovy duck,this study carried out bacterial isolation and culture,Gram staining microscopy,pathogen detection,biochemical test,16S rRNA sequence analysis,PCR identification,drug sensitivity test and drug resistance gene detection for Muscovy duck suspected of Riemerella anatipestifer infection.The results of bacterial isolation showed that on the blood agar medium,the isolated bacteria grew creamy needle tip size colonies with smooth surface,neat edge,luster and translucency.The Gram-negative bacillus brevis was detected by Gram-negative staining microscopy,and it was named GZQN201907.In the biochemical test of GZQN201907,urea reaction was positive,but glucose,maltose,lactose and other biochemical reactions were negative.The 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree was in the same branch as Riemerella anatipestifer.And the OmpA gene of PCR identification results of the isolated strain were positive.The drug sensitivity test was sensitive to 18 antibiotics including cefuroxime,erythromycin and ceftazidime,moderately sensitive to carboxypicillin and ciprofloxacin,and sensitive to neomycin and cotrimoxazole.And the resistance genes could detect the β-lactam resistance genes VIM and TEM,tetracycline resistance genes tetB,macrolide resistance genes ermB and ermF.The results of drug sensitivity test and drug resistance gene detection indicated that GZQN201907 showed the same resistance phenotype and gene detection results for β-lactam,tetracycline and macrolide.In the animal regression test,all the ducklings inoculated with GZQN201907 died within 72 h,while the control group showed no symptoms,indicating that GZQN201907 was virulent to the ducklings.One strain of Riemerella anatipestifer from Muscovy duck was successfully isolated,which laid a foundation for the prevention and treatment of Riemerella anatipestifer from muscovich.
