High diversity of the emerging pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii and other Acinetobacter spp. in raw manure, biogas plants digestates, and rural and urban wastewater treatment plants with system specific antimicrobial resistance profiles.

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii causing immense treatment problems in hospitals. There is still a knowledge gap on the abundance and stability of acquired resistances and the diversity of resistant Acinetobacter in the environment. The aim of the study was to investigate the diversity and antimicrobial resistances of Acinetobacter spp.

Acinetobacter stercoris sp. nov. isolated from output source of a mesophilic german biogas plant with anaerobic operating conditions.

The Gram-stain-negative, oxidase negative, catalase positive strain KPC-SM-21, isolated from a digestate of a storage tank of a mesophilic German biogas plant, was investigated by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic identification based on the nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene revealed highest gene sequence similarity to Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606 (97.0%).

The status of the genus (Pot 1992) and the species (Pot 1992).

On the basis of two other publications (Yarza 2013; Nemec 2019) and on the basis of resequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of CIP 103579 it is concluded that CIP 103579, which is the only available strain of the species from culture collections, does not conform to the original description given by Pot (1992). The strain investigated is a member of the genus within the , a family of the and not a member of the as originally proposed. CIP 103579 shared 99.

Acinetobacter baumannii in manure and anaerobic digestates of German biogas plants.

Studies considering environmental multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter spp. are scarce. The application of manure on agricultural fields is one source of multidrug-resistant bacteria from livestock into the environment.

Streptococcus (S.) agalactiae represents a significant pathogen for humans and animals. However, there are only a few elderly reports on S.
