a37 samples tested from S. nobilis- 20 chelicerae, 15 full body (5 euthanised) and 2 spiders walk. C chelicerae; FB full body; D dead; SW spider walk.
bPathogenicity was defined based on bacterial metadatabase BacDive (https://bacdive.dsmz.de/). “+” indicates bacterial species is associated with opportunistic infections due to underlying acute or chronic health conditions. “−” indicates no known association of bacterial species with infection.
c(1) & (2) indicate different strains of same species based on differing antibiotic susceptibility (Table 3).
d98% sequence identity to S. anginosus.
e98% sequence identity to B. pumilis.
