In this study, the microbiological and sensory quality of cultivated mushrooms ( and and ) available at the Austrian retail level were determined. Aerobic mesophilic bacteria (AMC), (EB), (PS), lactic acid bacteria (LAB), yeast, moulds and presumptive were enumerated at the day of purchase and after storage at 4 °C for 7 or 12 days. Additionally, the presence of spp.

- In 2016, a pilot project by the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety aimed to study antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in surface water by analyzing river water samples and comparing them with clinical isolates from hospitals.
- Five isolates (three ESBL-producing and two carbapenem resistant) were found in water samples, and their genetic makeup was compared to 95 clinical isolates, revealing three distinct clusters of strains.
- The study highlights a genetic link between waterborne and clinical strains, raising concerns about wastewater treatment plant effluents affecting public health, and underscores the need for strategies to control the spread of multi-resistant bacteria into the environment.
The nonpathogenic species is closely related to members of the food-associated pathogenic genus and has been detected in fruit powders, formula, spices, and herbs. Here, we report on the first clinical isolate of , recovered from the labial angle of a patient with angular cheilitis.
