Bacteria in Bulgarian wild mice and voles, as well as absent African swine fever virus

Isolate identifiers follow the format SAIM-BAS-YI-[Roman numeral]-[Arabic numeral], where the Roman numeral denotes the host individual and the Arabic numeral denotes the isolate number corresponding to a table in the associated publication. These identifiers are provided in the organismID field and uniquely link GBIF records to the physical strains in the collection. The field eventID represents individual host animals.

All bacterial isolates derived from the same host share the same eventID, allowing linkage of multiple isolates to a single sampled individual. The presence of bacteria is confirmed from cultured material and reflects host-associated occurrence; records do not represent environmental prevalence. Host animals showed no clinical signs at the time of sampling; isolates are therefore considered likely commensal.

Multiple isolates of the same species per host may be present. In addition, the host rodents were tested for African swine fever virus, but it was not detected using PCR.
