Additionally, results revealed that all these bacteria contained resistant genes to different antibiotics such as cephalosporin, carbapenems and fluoroquinolones. The most abundant species were Escherichia coli, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus mirabilis, Providencia spp and Serratia marescens. According to the results of the analysis, hedgehogs were the animals with highest percentage of resistant bacteria, followed by birds of prey such as goshawks and common owls.įrom the hospital to the intestines of wildlifeĮnteric bacteria identified in the gastrointestinal track of these animals belonged to several genus of Enterobacteriaceae commonly found in animals and humans, as well as in the environment. ![]() Some of the animal species analyzed were birds (mainly birds of prey, owls, passerines and gulls), mammals (hedgehogs, mustelids, wild boars and roe deer) and a small amount of tortoises. To perform the study, scientists have analyzed enteric bacteria of 307 animals from 67 different species located in regions of Catalonia with high density of urban areas and farming land. The study, published in the PLoS ONE journal, emphasizes that these antibiotics are classified by the World Health Organization as critically important for human health. The present study carried out by researchers from the Center of Research in Animal Health (IRTA-CReSA), the Department of Anatomy and Animal Health of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), and the Torreferrussa Wildlife Center from the Government of Catalonia’s Ministry for Territory and Sustainability demonstrates that the enteric bacteria of wildlife origin in Catalonia exhibits a high prevalence and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes. Consequently, wildlife might be indirectly exposed to these resistant traits. Previous studies have confirmed the presence of resistant bacteria or resistant genes circulating in urban wastewater and river waters. In addition, antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been described in urban environments and ecosystems subjected to low human pressure. This is especially true in hospital settings, where antimicrobial pressure is extremely high and patients are immunocompromised being more prone to acquire nosocomial infections. Nowadays the prevalence of multi-drug resistant bacteria in humans, domestic animals and livestock has increased, hindering the finding of the correct treatment for infectious diseases that before were not a problem. ![]() Proudly Servicing: Greater Sudbury, Azilda, Blezard Valley, Chelmsford, Garson, Falconbridge, Coniston, Capreol, Dowling, Lively, Onaping-Levack, Skead, Wanup, Naughton, Wahnapitae and Valley East.Antibiotic resistance has become a global health problem due to decades of misuse of these drugs in both, human and veterinary medicine.
