UNASSIGNED: @entity15515 gallolyticus ( @entity15515 ) can colonise the gastrointestinal tract of @entity1 and animals and is known to cause similar infections in both @entity1 and animals. Data about the spread or prevalence in farm animals are missing. In this study, Trypton Soya Agar was modified to a selective medium enabling the isolation and quantification of @entity15515 from faecal samples. The bacterium was observed in 82 out of 91 faecal samples obtained from 18 different organic @entity233 flocks. The prevalence of shedding birds was estimated by the number of positive fresh droppings and reached up to 100% on most farms. Furthermore, for the first time @entity15515 was quantified in faeces from poultry flocks. The median of colony forming units (CFU) per gramme faeces was 3.6 x 105CFU/g. Typing of one isolate from each positive faecal sample by multilocus sequence typing delivered 24 @entity5599 ( @entity5599 ). Most of the isolates belonged to the clonal complex CC58. The same @entity5599 of this complex were detected in up to six different flocks. Partly, these flocks were located in various regions and stocked with varying breeding lines. Regarding the biochemical profiles of the same @entity5599 from different farms, the results did not contradict a spread of specific @entity5599 in the organic @entity233 production. Moreover, checking the pubMLST database revealed that @entity5599 found in this study were also found in other animal species and in @entity1 . The high detection rate and the number of @entity15515 in @entity233 faeces indicate that this bacterium probably belongs to the common microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract of @entity233 from organic flocks. Furthermore, the findings of this study support the suggestion of a possible interspecies transmission.
