Abstract: 
Today's intensive livestock production is often accompanied by high concentrations of airborne microorganisms, their metabolic products and cell constituents at working places. Exposure to those substances may affect the respiratory system leading to health effects. So far, the microbial communities in livestock stable's air have not been studied in detail. For this reason, bioaerosol samples from two turkey stables were investigated by cultivation-based and molecular methods to determine the concentrations of microorganisms and the compositions of bacterial communities. Depending on the used media, colony forming unit concentrations ranged between 8×10⁴ and 8×10⁵ CFU m^-3 air. The corresponding total cell concentration (DAPI staining), in contrast was two magnitudes higher, showing the clear underestimation of the cultivation based quantification approaches. Isolates were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. Sequences of five isolates were found to be closely related to bacterial species Acinetobacter johnsonii, Aerococcus viridans and Pantoea agglomerans which are risk group 2 organisms and known as causative agents for pulmonary diseases. These results show that organisms not only at high concentrations are found, but also species of potential health risk can be detected in livestock stables.
