“…and carnobacteria, most likely represented commensal bacteria. As a pathogen known to severely affect other mustelids [ 26 , 88 ], Pseudomonas aeruginosa was already isolated from Eurasian otters in Israel [ 89 ]. Furthermore, unspecified pseudomonades were found in the feces of five Eurasian otters from Portugal [ 23 ].…”

In times of massive biodiversity loss and ongoing environmental crises, it is extremely important to ensure long-term conservation efforts of threatened species like Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra). To gain insights into the status of Northern Germany’s otter population, 92 otters found dead in Schleswig-Holstein between 2015−2020 were collected and underwent detailed dissection with the aim to establish a monitoring program for this population. Examinations followed a protocol especially designed for otters, including various biological data assessments and extended sampling. The finding sites showed a clear concentration in the Continental region. Seasonal concentration differed among the years, yet peaks were seen from fall to winter. Overall, more males than females were found, although this differed among the years. The majority of otters that could be aged were between 1–3 years. Placental scars and pregnancy were recorded in only few females. Nutritional status was good in most cases. Infectious diseases found included Vagococcus lutrae, Toxoplasma gondii, and Emmonsia spp. A major cause of death was roadkill. Known sample bias in studies focusing on roadkill was considered in the finding interpretation. Continuation of the population health investigations is mandatory to analyze potential trends and to establish an actual monitoring program for Eurasian otters in Schleswig-Holstein.

“…Infections in healthy individuals can occur as keratitis (Song et al, 2000 ), otitis (Heslop and Ovesen, 2006 ), and others. P. aeruginosa can also be detected in human and animal fecal samples (Mushin and Ziv, 1973 ; Lavenir et al, 2008 ). It has been identified as an animal pathogen responsible for various infections (Daly et al, 1999 ; Ledbetter et al, 2007 ).…”

The occurrence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was monitored at a broad spatial scale in French agricultural soils, from various soil types and under various land uses to evaluate the ability of soil to be a natural habitat for that species. To appreciate the impact of agricultural practices on the potential dispersion of P. aeruginosa, we further investigated the impact of organic amendment at experimental sites in France and Burkina Faso. A real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) approach was used to analyze a set of 380 samples selected within the French RMQS (“Réseau de Mesures de la Qualité des Sols”) soil library. In parallel, a culture-dependent approach was tested on a subset of samples. The results showed that P. aeruginosa was very rarely detected suggesting a sporadic presence of this bacterium in soils from France and Burkina Faso, whatever the structural and physico-chemical characteristics or climate. When we analyzed the impact of organic amendment on the prevalence of P. aeruginosa, we found that even if it was detectable in various manures (at levels from 103 to 105 CFU or DNA targets (g drywt)−1 of sample), it was hardly ever detected in the corresponding soils, which raises questions about its survival. The only case reports were from a vineyard soil amended with a compost of mushroom manure in Burgundy, and a few samples from two fields amended with raw urban wastes in the sub-urban area of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In these soils the levels of culturable cells were below 10 CFU (g drywt)−1.

“…A major disadvantage was the predominance of types 3 and 6. However the alternative method (pyocine typing) also revealed a predominance of strains belonging to one type (type 1), a situation which has already been noted by other (Govan and Gillies, 1969;Mushin and Ziv, 1973). If adequate discrimination is to be achieved by pyocine typing, the subtyping recommended by Govan and Gillies (1969) is essential.…”
