Microbial dynamics in the ripening process of Vorarlberger Alpkäse: farm-specific variations at two Austrian alpine farms Open
Introduction Vorarlberger Alpkäse (VA) is a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Austrian heritage cheese produced from raw milk during the summer grazing period in the Alps. In addition to conducting clinical examinations of cows whose r…

Antimicrobial and Metal Resistance Genes in Bacteria Isolated from Mine Water in Austria Open
Background/Objectives: Microbiomes surrounding mining sites have been found to harbor both antibiotic resistance genes and metal resistance genes. Within the “One Health” framework, which spans human, veterinary and environmental health, i…

Phylogenetic Groups and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli from Different Meat Species Open
Escherichia coli isolated from meat of different animal species may harbour antimicrobial resistance genes and may thus be a threat to human health. The objectives of this study were to define antimicrobial resistance genes in E. coli isol…

Antimicrobial Resistance in Escherichia coli and Resistance Genes in Coliphages from a Small Animal Clinic and in a Patient Dog with Chronic Urinary Tract Infection Open
Antimicrobial resistance is on the rise in certain pathogens that infect pets and their owners. This has raised concerns about the use of antibiotics and the transfer of resistance elements in small animal clinics. We sampled a surgery uni…

Natural Occurrence of Escherichia coli-Infecting Bacteriophages in Clinical Samples Open
The interaction between bacteriophages, bacteria and the human host as a tripartite system has recently captured attention. The taxonomic diversity of bacteriophages, as a natural parasite of bacteria, still remains obscure in human body b…

Draft Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli DSM 12242, a Highly Efficient Host Strain for the Isolation of Somatic Coliphages Open
Here, we report the draft genome sequence and characterization of the commercial strain Escherichia coli DSM 12242 (=ATCC 13706/60 =NZRM 3262) derived from strain C (ATCC 13706), which is suitable for the isolation of coliphages from envir…

Characterization of Bacteria and Inducible Phages in an Intensive Care Unit Open
Intensive care units (ICUs) are critical locations for the transmission of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. Bacteria may develop a synergistic relationship with bacteriophages and more effectively resist various stresses, enabl…

Bacteriophages Isolated from Chicken Meat and the Horizontal Transfer of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes Open
Antimicrobial resistance in microbes poses a global and increasing threat to public health. The horizontal transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes was thought to be due largely to conjugative plasmids or transposons, with only a minor p…
