nobilis does carry opportunistic pathogenic bacteria on its body surfaces and chelicerae. nobilis were susceptible to ciprofloxacin. On the other hand, all bacteria recovered from S. The isolates varied in their antibiotic susceptibility: Pseudomonas putida, Staphylococcus capitis and Staphylococcus edaphicus showed the highest extent of resistance, to three antibiotics in total.
nobilis, 12 were related to human pathogenicity among which Staphylococcus epidermidis, Kluyvera intermedia, Rothia mucilaginosa and Pseudomonas putida are recognized as class 2 pathogens. Out of 22 bacterial species isolated from S. nobilis, and two native spiders: Amaurobius similis and Eratigena atrica. 11 genera of bacteria were identified through 16S rRNA sequencing from the body surfaces and chelicerae of S. nobilis and other synanthropic European spiders to vector bacteria during a bite, by seeking to identify bacteria with pathogenic potential on the spiders. In this study, we investigated whether it is plausible for S. These could be secondary infections derived from opportunistic bacteria on the skin or infections directly vectored by the spider. The false widow spider Steatoda nobilis is associated with bites which develop bacterial infections that are sometimes unresponsive to antibiotics.
