野生动物的作用,包括鸟类,抗菌素耐药性现在是科学界的一个推测话题,因为它们可能是抗菌素耐药性基因的传播者/来源。在这方面,我们旨在调查100株共生大肠杆菌的抗菌药物敏感性,从翁布里亚救援中心的野生鸟类中分离出来,主要因外伤而被送往佩鲁贾(意大利中部)兽医教学医院。沙门氏菌的可能存在。和产ESBL的大肠杆菌也被估计。氨苄西林(85%)和阿莫西林/克拉维酸(47%)的耐药率最高。可能是由于它们在人类和兽医学中的广泛使用。一百个大肠杆菌分离株中有17个(17%)表现出多药耐药性,包括β-内酰胺类,对三或四类抗生素最常见的耐药模式。对环丙沙星的耐药性,头孢噻肟和头孢他啶的值为18%,17%和15%,分别。一百个大肠杆菌分离株中的8个(8%)是ESBL,并且7个显示多药抗性谱。沙门氏菌属。不是孤立的。对第三代头孢菌素的耐药性,在长途候鸟中也被发现,这表明有必要进行监测研究,以确定野生鸟类在抗菌药物耐药回路中的作用。
The role of wildlife, including birds, in antimicrobial resistance is nowadays a speculative topic for the scientific community as they could be spreaders/sources of antimicrobial resistance genes. In this respect, we aimed to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility of 100 commensal Escherichia coli strains, isolated from wild birds from an Umbrian rescue centre and admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Perugia (Central Italy) mainly for traumatic injuries. The possible presence of Salmonella spp. and ESBL-producing E. coli was also estimated. The highest prevalence of resistance was observed for ampicillin (85%) and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (47%), probably due to their extensive use in human and veterinary medicine. Seventeen out of the one hundred E. coli isolates (17%) displayed a multidrug-resistance profile, including the beta-lactam category, with the most common resistance patterns to three or four classes of antibiotics. Resistance to ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime and ceftazidime exhibited values of 18%, 17% and 15%, respectively. Eight out of the hundred E. coli isolates (8%) were ESBL and seven showed multidrug resistance profiles. Salmonella spp. was not isolated. Resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, also detected in long-distance migratory birds, suggests the need for monitoring studies to define the role of wild birds in antimicrobial resistance circuits.
