“…Although most cases of ESBL‐producing bacteria are reported in clinical settings, increasing numbers of infections acquired outside of hospital settings (i.e., community‐acquired infections) have suggested that livestock and wildlife may form a zoonotic reservoir of ESBL for people living in close contact with animals (Guenther, Ewers, & Wieler, ). Supporting this hypothesis, ESBL‐producing E. coli have been found in several wild animals in Europe (Guenther et al., ); however, relatively few studies have been carried out on wild animals in low‐income countries (Carrillo‐Del Valle et al., ; Cristóbal‐Azkarate, Dunn, Day, & Amábile‐Cuevas, ; Guenther et al., ; Hasan et al., ; Liakopoulos et al., ), where the consequences of ESBL resistance can be exacerbated by a higher number of bacterial infections and more limited access to health facilities providing appropriate antibiotic treatment (Sosa et al., ).…”

Antibiotic resistance mediated by bacterial production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) is a global threat to public health. ESBL resistance is most commonly hospital-acquired; however, infections acquired outside of hospital settings have raised concerns over the role of livestock and wildlife in the zoonotic spread of ESBL-producing bacteria. Only limited data are available on the circulation of ESBL-producing bacteria in animals. Here, we report ESBL-producing Escherichia coli in wild common vampire bats Desmodus rotundus and livestock near Lima, Peru. Molecular analyses revealed that most of this resistance resulted from the expression of bla genes carried by plasmids, which are disseminating worldwide in hospital settings and have also been observed in healthy children of Peru. Multilocus sequence typing showed a diverse pool of E. coli strains carrying this resistance that were not always host species-specific, suggesting sharing of strains between species or infection from a common source. This study shows widespread ESBL resistance in wild and domestic animals, supporting animal communities as a potential source of resistance. Future work is needed to elucidate the role of bats in the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant strains of public health importance and to understand the origin of the observed resistance.

“…Escherichia coli , commensal bacteria of warm-blooded animals, is widely used as fecal contamination indicator [3]. The presence of pathogenic strains of E. coli in wild animals, such as deer, may comprise a risk for human and other animals’ health [4]. The occurrence of antibiotic resistance in E. coli isolated from wild animals is not directly exposed to antibiotic treatment [5,6].…”

Antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli in deer and nearby water sources at Safari parks in Bangladesh

Background and Aim: The emergence and rapid dissemination of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in different ecosystems is a growing concern to human health, animal health, and the environment in recent years. The study aimed to determine the antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli from deer and nearby water sources at two different Safari parks in Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: A number of 55 fresh fecal samples of deer and six water samples from nearby lakes were collected from two Safari parks. Samples were processed, cultured, and carried out biochemical tests for E. coli. The antibiotic susceptibility was determined by disk diffusion method. To identify the resistance genes, polymerase chain reaction was performed. Results: A total of 32 E. coli isolates from 55 fecal samples and 6 of 6 E. coli isolates from lake water were isolated. From fecal E. coli isolates, ampicillin and sulfamethoxazole were 90.63% (n=29/32) resistant and 87.5% (n=28/32) were resistant to tetracycline and nalidixic acid. High resistance was also observed to other antibiotics. On the contrary, all E. coli isolates from water sources were 100% (n=6/6) resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline, sulfamethoxazole, and nalidixic acid. MDR was revealed in all water samples, whereas 96.88% (n=31/32) was found in fecal isolates. A number of blaTEM, tetA, and Sul2 genes were detected from both isolates. Conclusion: This study for the 1st time highlights, a significant proportion of E. coli isolates in wildlife deer and nearby water sources were MDR in Bangladesh.

“…Previous studies investigated the prevalence of STEC among urban exploiter species such as rats (Himsworth et al, ) or pigeons (Gargiulo et al, ; Kobayashi, Pohjanvirta, & Pelkonen, ; Murakami et al, ; Silva, Nicoli, Nascimento, & Diniz, ). Likewise, other wild animal species have been investigated such as deer (Asakura et al, ; Carrillo‐Del Valle et al, ; Dunn, Keen, Moreland, & Alex, ) and gulls (Makino et al, ). Nevertheless, more comprehensive data on the prevalence of STEC in wild animal species are needed to better assess the role that these animals have in the transmission of STEC infections in the human population and food chain.…”

Zoonotic pathogens constitute the major source (60.3%) of emerging infectious diseases. Previous studies have investigated the prevalence of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) among wild animal species, but comprehensive data are needed to assess the role that these animals have in the transmission of STEC infections to the human population via faecal contamination of the environment, agri-food or water chain. Due to the nature of these microorganisms in which this human-animal-environment interface plays a relevant role on the disease's dynamics, a "One Health" approach is needed to prevent and control the worldwide spread. The aim of this study was to review the published research on the prevalence of STEC in wildlife. The search was performed using several online databases consisting of three blocks of specific search terms covering pathogen, type of study and population. Two reviewers applied the inclusion and exclusion criteria to screening and eligibility phases. Two hundred and twenty-five abstracts were screened for relevance, and 72 were included for data analysis. Most studies (77.8%) investigated the prevalence of STEC in ruminants and urban birds. Their role in transmitting the pathogen to humans, other animals and the agri-food chain is potentiated by the peculiar biological characteristics in ruminants and improved adaptation of urban birds to urban environments. The popularity of convenience and voluntary response sampling may be due to the lack of human-made boundaries on the wild animal species' habitat and having some samples from hunted-harvested animals. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review on STEC prevalence in wild animal species from studies conducted across the globe. We recommend that future research includes and compares samples from varying origins (i.e., human, animal, environment and food) and applies a "One Health" approach to the emerging challenges that STEC poses to public health.
