# A bacterial culture collection from stable flies and manure relevant to bovine mastitis

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a collection of bacteria from stable flies and cow manure, which could help understand bovine mastitis and bacterial interactions.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is a curated bacterial collection with genomic and antimicrobial data relevant to bovine mastitis.

## Key findings

- Over 1,100 bacterial isolates were collected from stable flies and cow manure.
- Genome assemblies and antimicrobial susceptibility data are available for some isolates.

## Abstract

We present a collection of over 1,100 bacterial isolates from hematophagous Stomoxys flies and cow manure. Genome assemblies and antimicrobial susceptibility data are available for a subset of isolates. This resource supports studies of bacterial ecology, host-vector interactions, and potential roles in bovine mastitis.
