“…This adaptive feeding strategy often involves intermingling of multiple livestock and wildlife species, thus providing opportunities for pathogen transmission (Dolejska et al, 2008;Carlson et al, 2011). Both Starlings and Sparrows are susceptible to infection with low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (Stallknecht and Shane, 1988) and both species have sialic acid receptors capable of binding both human (a-2,3) and avian (a-2,6) influenza viruses in respiratory and intestinal epithelia, as indicated by lectin binding (Franca et al, in press).…”

ABSTRACT:European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) and House Sparrows (Passer domesticus) are common peridomestic passerine birds that are often associated with domestic animal production facilities. This association provides a potential means for pathogen transmission between facilities. We inoculated European Starlings and House Sparrows with three nonavian influenza virus strains: two swine isolates (H1N1 and H3N2) and one human isolate representing the H1N1 pandemic strain that originated from swine. No viral shedding was observed in House Sparrows, and shedding was minimal and transient in two of 12 (17%) European Starlings. One of these two infected Starlings seroconverted 14 days after inoculation. These results suggest that these two passerine species are minimally susceptible to current influenza viruses in domestic pigs and therefore pose a negligible risk for transmission between or within swine production facilities.

“…These resistant pathogens have the potential to complicate treatment of disease (28). One study examined the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant E. coli in cattle compared to the prevalence detected in sparrows living in close association with the livestock (17). Antimicrobial-resistant E. coli isolates were detected in 24.5% of the rectal smears from the cattle and 9% of the cloacal swabs from the sparrows.…”

Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in Wild European Starlings at a Kansas Cattle Feedlot

The prevalence of Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., and Mycobacterium avium subsp.paratuberculosis isolated from the feces of wild European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) humanely trapped at a feedlot in central Kansas was assessed. All E. coli and Salmonellaisolates recovered were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System panels and the E. coli isolates were classified as to their content of genes associated with pathogenic E. coli of birds and cattle, including cvaC, iroN2, ompTp, hlyF2, eitC, iss, iutA, ireA, papC, stxI, stxII, sta, K99, F41, and eae.Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis were not detected and Salmonella was isolated from only three samples, two of which displayed antimicrobial resistance. Approximately half of the E. coli isolates were resistant to antimicrobial agents with 96% showing resistance to tetracycline. Only one isolate was positive for a single gene associated with bovine pathogenic E. coli. An interesting finding of this study was that 5% of the E. coli isolates tested met the criteria established for identification as avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC). Thus these findings suggest that starlings are not a significant source of Salmonella spp., Mycobacterium avium subsp.paratuberculosis, E. coli O157, or other shiga toxin-producing E. coli in this feedlot. However, they may have the potential to spread APEC, an important pathogen of poultry and a potential pathogen to human beings. SUMMARY.

“…Resistance to more than one antibiotic by a single bacterial isolate is commonly reported. Consequently, resistance to multiple antibiotics have been used to identify and differentiate E. coli strains from different animal species (Dolejska et al 2008). The use of antibiotic resistance profiles is simple, cost-effective, and suitable for surveillance and has been used for E. coli strains to identify sources of faecal contamination in water (Kinge et al 2010).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the risks associated with the use of roof harvested rainwater RHRW and the implication of pigeons as the most likely source of contamination by testing for antibiotic resistance profiles of E. coli. A total of 239 Escherichia coli were isolated from thirty fresh pigeon faecal samples (130 isolates), 11 RHRW tanks from three sites in Pretoria (78) and two in Johannesburg (31). In all samples, resistance to ampicillin (22.7.9%), gentamicin (23.6%), amikacin (24%), tetracycline (17.4) and amoxicillin (16.9%) were the most frequently encountered form of resistance. However, a relatively higher proportion of isolates from pigeon faeces were antibiotic resistant than those from RHRW. The highest number of phenotypes was observed for single antibiotics and no single antibiotic resistance was observed for chloramphenicol, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, cefoxitin, cotrimoxazole, although they were detected in multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) phenotypes. The highest multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) phenotypes were observed for a combination of four antibiotics, on isolates from JHB (18.8%), pigeon faeces (15.2%) and Pretoria (5.1%). The most abundant resistance phenotype to four antibiotics, Ak-Gm-Cip-T was dominated by isolates from pigeon faeces (6.8%) with Pretoria and Johannesburg isolates having low proportions of 1.3% and 3.1%, respectively. Future studies should target isolates from various environmental settings in which rainwater harvesting is practiced and the characterisation of the antibiotic resistance determinant genes among the isolates.
