“…Citrobacter freundii is a well-known captive sea turtle pathogen, responsible for cutaneous ulceration, sloughing skin septicemia, dehydration and death [16,45]. Klebsiella oxytoca was already reported in other Mediterranean areas associated with loggerhead turtles [9,27]). Shewanella spp.…”

“…The latter were the sea turtles with a problem (hook, plastic presence, gastrointestinal occlusion, collision with a boat) that needed a recovery period. A significant correlation was found among the different body measurements recorded To date, a few studies investigated the microbial community associated with Caretta caretta by using culture-dependent methods [9,10,[27][28][29] or metagenomic analysis [30][31][32], and even fewer studies were carried out on the antibiotic resistance of isolates [9,10,13,28]. All the latter studies collected samples from animals that needed to be recovered for several reasons (traumas, ingestion of fishing hooks, parasitosis, respiratory disorders) [9,10,13,28], or found dead along the seacoast [13].…”

“…Their findings included the isolation of several potential human pathogens such as V. alginolyticus , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , and Escherichia coli . The possible role of sea turtles as carriers of human pathogens is also discussed in a recent study which found two strains of V. parahaemolyticus on stranded sea turtles along the coast of Italy [28]. Little literature exists on bacteria isolated from sea turtle eyes [7, 8, 29].…”

“…and Chlamydia species due to contact with infected animals (68). There are also reports of fish 543 pathogens in sea turtle which are of concern to aquaculture and the sea food industry (23). Fusarium solani can infect egg clutches, and high mortality rates are reported due to infection with 545 this species of fungi.…”
