Complete genome sequence of the first strain isolated from a red fox () in Germany.

The zoonotic pathogen is part of the oral microbiome of dogs and cats. We report the genome sequence of strain KM3195_24, isolated from a red fox. It has a circular genome of 2,718,701 bp with a G + C content of 36%, 2,419 CDS, 3 rRNA operons, and 45 tRNAs.

Resistance of zebu cattle (Bos indicus) to colonization by major ruminant hoof pathogens.

Zebu cattle (Bos indicus) is reported to be more resistant towards harmful environmental factors than taurine cattle (Bos taurus). A few hundred zebu cattle are kept in Switzerland and in contrast to the Swiss indigenous breeds, infectious hoof disease in zebu is not observed. Therefore, we compared the prevalence of three ruminant hoof pathogens in zebu and taurine cattle.

sp. nov., proposed for clade V organisms of .

A set of 25 strains belonging to clade V of mainly isolated from cattle was investigated and is proposed to represent sp. nov. The species can be separated from the other validly published species of the genus by pheno- and genotype.

Canine circulating in a Kenyan animal shelter.

Animal shelters, especially in resource-poor countries, bring together pets from different regions and with different backgrounds. The crowding of such animals often results in infectious diseases, such as respiratory infections. This study characterized from diseased and apparently healthy dogs housed in an animal shelter in Kenya, to determine their antibiotic resistance profiles, their genetic relatedness, and the presence of dominant clones.
