Opossum Tissue Samples with Streptococcus Didelphis Isolates

General data from free-ranging white-eared and Brazilian common opossums (Didelphis albiventris and Didelphis aurita). The dataset contains information on animals where the bacterium Streptococcus didelphis was isolated from tissues. It was authored by Daniel Oliveira dos Santos and last updated on April 30, 2026.

Use Cases

• Studying host-pathogen relationships in marsupials based on the isolation of Streptococcus didelphis.
• Comparing bacterial carriage between Didelphis albiventris and Didelphis aurita species.
• Analyzing general health data from necropsied and live-captured free-ranging opossums.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Focuses on a specific bacterial isolate (Streptococcus didelphis) from two opossum species.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
