Bacteria as resistant microorganisms in decomposition of mummified human remains
Original language description
This study has observed the bacterial microflora of Bacillus genus from naturally mummified human remains found in the crypt of Kuffner Family in Sládkovičovo, Slovakia. Out of the Kuffner Family remains (baron Karl Kuffner de Dioszegh, baroness Maria Franziska von und zu Firmian and their daughter-in-law Cara Carolina von Haebler) we identified 95 bacterial isolates, among which there are a number of resistant bacterial pathogens. On the grounds of 16S rRNA sequencing, 27 isolates were attributed to genus Bacillus, and species identification was successful in 12 isolates. The isolated bacterial strains make part of more extensive studies of microbiota isolated from different kinds of human remains and air surrounding the samples inside the Kuffner's mausoleum and crypt. The obtained data provide important information on the resistance characteristics of microorganisms that accompany the processes of microbial decomposition of human remains.
