Draft Genome Sequence of an Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida Strain from the Canadian Pacific Coast Bearing a Variant of pRAS1

Kevin C Vaillancourt et al. Microbiol Resour Announc. .

Abstract

The genome sequencing of Aeromonas salmonicida subspecies salmonicida strain 2004-072 revealed a plasmid bearing a region carrying antibiotic resistance genes very similar to the one found in the plasmid pRAS1, an IncU family plasmid. This new plasmid was named pRAS1b.

The plasmid pRAS1b. (A) The map of pRAS1b was produced with the DNAPlotter software (16). The red genes code for known proteins, the blue genes code for antibiotic resistance proteins, and the purple genes code for hypothetical proteins. The inner circle corresponds to the GC skew. (B) Similarities between pRAS1b, pRAS1, and pRA3. The gray areas represent similar or identical segments in the sequences of the plasmids compared. The blue arrows represent the antibiotic resistance genes. This part of the figure was made using Easyfig software (17).
