Twelve Staphylococcus borealis strains, isolated in Canada and Poland from milk of cows with intramammary infections, were characterized phenotypically (biochemical reactions on ID 32 STAPH and Biolog Phenotype MicroArrays™ PM1 and PM2A, ability of biofilm production) and genotypically (random amplified polymorphic DNA). In addition, a genomic comparison was done with S. borealis strains of human and porcine origin using the multilocus sequence typing (MLST) technique.

- Huculs are ancient mountain horses from the Carpathian Mountains, and there's limited information on viral infections in this specific breed.
- This study assessed the health of a semi-isolated, unvaccinated Hucul herd in Poland to identify their exposure to common equine viral infections and arboviruses.
- Out of 20 horses tested, antibodies were found against several viruses, indicating that despite their isolation, the herd is exposed to equine viral infections, making them valuable for monitoring local virus presence.
