ABSTRACT: In the present study, the mechanical transmission of various pathogenic agents such as bacteria by Spider, Pardosa psuedoannulata, has been confirmed. Isolation and identification of bacteria from external surface of Pardosa psuedoannulata has not been done previously. This is the first report of bacterial infection of spider Pardosa psuedoannulata. In our study of surface bacteria inoculation on spider Pardosa psuedoannulata, Leconostoc mesenteroides dextrancium and Staphylococcus sciuri had the highest rate of infection. It is observed that Leconostoc mesenteroides dextrancium has the greatest rate of bacterial surface infection on spider in addition to Staphylococcus sciuri has been associated with serious infections in humans, such as endocarditis, peritonitis, septic shock, and wound infections. Previous studies indicated isolation of S. sciuri and S. lentus from urine sample. Leuconostoc species have been implicated in a variety of infections, particularly in patients being treated with vancomycin. Very little is known about the epidemiology of Leuconostoc infections. They occur naturally on various foods, and gastrointestinal colonization has been demonstrated for patients. Those diseases could be associated with the rice that have been consumed by the human being which has been grown in the paddy field where this spider is found. The wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata, plays a crucial role in the rice agro-ecosystem and in agricultural fields and a potentially good bio indicator for heavy metal contamination. Despite the risk and benefit of presence of Pardosa pseudoannulata in paddy rice field, the symbiotic association of the bacteria to be interesting as it may be playing a vital role in protecting the mango plant against other predators.
