“…In free-living birds of the Passeriformes order, Dias et al (2014) isolated Salmonella enterica in saffron finch (Sicalis flaveola) and in chestnut-capped blackbird (Chrysomus ruficapillus) captured near rice fields in southern Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Previous studies conducted with Belgian canaries bred in captivity in other countries have also isolated this bacterial genus, with serotype Typhimurium as the most prevalent (Harrington Junior et al 1975, Raidal 1998, Sánchez-Cordón et al 2007, Madadgar et al 2009, Giacopello et al 2015, and obtained low frequency of isolation, corroborating the findings of the present study.…”

“…One of the few similarities observed refers to resistance associated with ampicillin, which has very often been present as one of the antibiotics with most serious resistance problems. Giacopello et al (2015) also observed that the highest resistance in enterobacteria analyzed in canaries in Italy occurred with respect to amoxicillin (100%), ampicillin (92.2%), and streptomycin (61.2%), and these detected rates show percentages higher than those found in the present study. Horn et al (2015) reported percentage resistance rates of 55.7, 54.1, and 39.3% to sulfonamides, 3 (4.9) 6 4 (6.6) 7 2 (3.3) 8 1 (1.6) * The frequency obtained for each number of classes of antibiotics was the same when strains with and without intrinsic resistance were considered.…”

“…In contrast, other studies have reported higher frequencies of E. coli in the Passeriformes order. In a survey of 50 fecal samples from cages where canaries with signs of disease belonging to amateur breeders were housed in Italy, Giacopello et al (2015) found 62.0% positivity for this microorganism. Gaio (2017) observed that cloacal swabs from wild passerines from illegal trade also showed high percentage of E. coli (40.8%).…”

This study aimed to verify the presence of members from the Enterobacteriaceae family and determine antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of the isolates in canaries bred in northeastern Brazil; in addition, the presence of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) and avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) was also verified in these birds. Samples were collected during an exhibition organized by the Brazilian Ornithological Federation in July 2015 in Fortaleza, Brazil. A total of 88 fecal samples were collected and submitted to pre-enrichment step using buffered peptone water, followed by enrichment with the following broths: brain-heart infusion, Rappaport-Vassiliadis, and Selenite-Cystine. Subsequently, aliquots were streaked on MacConkey, brilliant green and salmonella-shigella agar plates. Colonies were selected according to morphological characteristics and submitted to biochemical identification and antimicrobial susceptibility tests with disk-diffusion technique. E. coli strains were evaluated for the presence of eight DEC genes and five APEC genes through conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening. The most frequent species observed were Pantoea agglomerans (25%), Serratia liquefaciens (12.5%), and Enterobacter aerogenes (9.1%). A single rough strain of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica was identified in one sample (1.1%). High resistance rates to amoxicillin (78.7%) and ampicillin (75.4%) were identified. Polymyxin B (9.8%), gentamycin (6.6%), and enrofloxacin (6.6%) were the most efficient antibiotics. The total number of multidrug-resistant strains (isolates resistant to more than three antimicrobial classes) was 23 (37.7%). Four E. coli strains were tested for the virulence genes, and two were positive for APEC virulence genes: one strain was positive for iutA and the other for hlyF. In conclusion, canaries in northeastern Brazil participating in exhibitions may present Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and other enterobacteria in the intestinal microbiota with antimicrobial resistance. These results indicate that, although the E. coli strains recovered from canaries in this study have some virulence genes, they still do not fulfill all the requirements to be considered APEC.

Significance and Roles of Proteus spp. Bacteria in Natural Environments

Proteus spp. bacteria were first described in 1885 by Gustav Hauser, who had revealed their feature of intensive swarming growth. Currently, the genus is divided into Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus penneri, Proteus hauseri, and three unnamed genomospecies 4, 5, and 6 and consists of 80 O-antigenic serogroups. The bacteria are known to be human opportunistic pathogens, isolated from urine, wounds, and other clinical sources. It is postulated that intestines are a reservoir of these proteolytic organisms. Many wild and domestic animals may be hosts of Proteus spp. bacteria, which are commonly known to play a role of parasites or commensals. However, interesting examples of their symbiotic relationships with higher organisms have also been described. Proteus spp. bacteria present in soil or water habitats are often regarded as indicators of fecal pollution, posing a threat of poisoning when the contaminated water or seafood is consumed. The health risk may also be connected with drug-resistant strains sourcing from intestines. Positive aspects of the bacteria presence in water and soil are connected with exceptional features displayed by autochthonic Proteus spp. strains detected in these environments. These rods acquire various metabolic abilities allowing their adaptation to different environmental conditions, such as high concentrations of heavy metals or toxic substances, which may be exploited as sources of energy and nutrition by the bacteria. The Proteus spp. abilities to tolerate or utilize polluting compounds as well as promote plant growth provide a possibility of employing these microorganisms in bioremediation and environmental protection.

“…Zur Prävalenz von Antibiotikaresistenzen bei Bakterien von Zier-, Zoo-und falknerisch gehaltenen Greifvögeln ist bisher nur sehr wenig bekannt. Die meisten der bei Steger [22] umfassend dargestellten Studien beschränken sich auf die Untersuchung einer Bakterienart [23] [24][25] [26] oder beinhalten lediglich eine relativ kleine Anzahl von Isolaten (27)(28)(29). Für Deutschland liegt bisher lediglich eine Studie aus dem Jahr 1999 vor, in der hohe Resistenzraten bei Isolaten von Zier-, Zoo-und Greifvögeln nachgewiesen wurden [30].…”

Zusammenfassung Gegenstand und Ziel Die Prävalenz von antibiotikaresistenten Bakterien bei Zier-, Zoo- und falknerisch gehaltenen Greifvögeln ist noch weitgehend unbekannt. Daher sollten retrospektiv Antibiogramme schnellwachsender aerober Bakterienarten ausgewertet werden. Material und Methoden Im Auswertungszeitraum von 2007 bis 2016 standen 1036 Antibiogramme zur Verfügung. Die Bakterienisolate stammten vorzugsweise aus Süddeutschland und von 811 Vögeln aus 20 zoologischen Ordnungen (am häufigsten Papageienvögel [61,8 %] und Sperlingsvögel [14,5 %]) sowie aus Proben von klinischen Patienten und Sektionsmaterial. Die phänotypische In-vitro-Empfindlichkeit wurde mittels Plattendiffusionstest ermittelt. Ergebnisse Die meisten Antibiogramme lagen für E. coli (n = 386 Isolate) vor, gefolgt von Staphylococcus (S.). aureus (n = 150), Enterobacter cloacae (n = 122), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 86) und Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 64). Resistenzen gegen mindestens einen antibiotischen Wirkstoff zeigten 53,1 % der E. coli-Isolate, dabei am häufigsten gegen Doxycyclin (50,3 %) und Ampicillin (46,1 %). Bei 78,0 % der S. aureus-Isolate und bei 95,9 % der Enterococcus faecalis-Isolate wurden Resistenzen gegenüber mindestens einem Wirkstoff nachgewiesen. Multiresistenzen (Resistenz gegenüber ≥ 3 Antibiotikagruppen) traten bei 37,3 % der Isolate von S. aureus auf. Bei Isolaten von Zier- und Greifvögeln wurden höhere Resistenzraten festgestellt als bei Isolaten von Zoovögeln und bei Papageienvögeln höhere Resistenzraten als bei Sperlingsvögeln. Im Untersuchungszeitraum zeigte sich bei E. coli ein tendenzieller Anstieg der Resistenzrate für Fluorchinolone (Minimum von 0 % im Jahr 2013 und Maximum von 27,3 % im Jahr 2015) und bei S. aureus eine tendenzielle Abnahme der Resistenzraten für Tetrazykline (Maximum von 39,4 % im Jahr 2007 und Minimum von 0 % in den Jahren 2014 und 2015). Schlussfolgerung und klinische Relevanz Die Resistenzsituation von Bakterien aus Zier-, Zoo- und falknerisch gehaltenen Greifvögeln ist als problematisch zu bewerten und verdeutlicht die Wichtigkeit der Empfindlichkeitsprüfung für eine gewissenhafte Therapie. Im Fall einer Infektion mit S. aureus bei Zier-, Zoo- oder falknerisch gehaltenen Greifvögeln kann es zu einem Therapienotstand kommen.
