Riemerella anatipestifer gen. nov., comb. nov., the Causative Agent of Septicemia Anserum Exsudativa, and Its Phylogenetic Affiliation within the Flavobacterium-Cytophaga rRNA Homology Group

Abstract excerpt

The phylogenetic position of the causative agent of septicemia anserum exsudativa, now most often referred to as [Moraxella] anatipestifer (brackets indicate a generically misnamed taxon) or "[Pasteurella] anatipestifer," was established by performing rRNA cistron similarity studies. [Moraxella] anatipestifer belongs to rRNA superfamily V, together with the genera Flavobacterium, Cytophaga, Flexibacter,...
