“…22 E. faecalis isolates obtained in our study were found to be sensitive to vancomycin at a rate of 95.5%. Cabral et al (2020) investigated the distribution of Enterococcus species, their resistance to gentamicin and vancomycin in their study on Psittacine (parrot-like, curved-billed birds) birds in Brazil. For this purpose, they took samples from 126 birds and isolated Enterococcus species (E. hirae, E. faecium, E. phoeniculicola, E. faecalis, E casseliflavus and E. gallinarum) at a rate of 26.9%, similar to our study (29%).…”

In this study, it was aimed to determine the resistance profile by examining the prevalence and species distribution of enterococci in rectal samples of healthy budgerigars and their susceptibility to antibiotics. 100 cloacal swab samples were used in the study. Identification and antibiotic resistance of Enterococcal isolates obtained by classical methods were determined with the automated identification system. As a result of the study, 22 (75.86%) E. faecalis, 2 (6.90%) E. faecium (6.90%) E. hirae (6.90%) and E. casseliflavus/gallinarum and 1 S. uberis (3.44%) was obtained. The presence of Enterococci was detected in 29% of the samples. In general, they were suspectible to Amoxicillin clavunate (96.4%), Ampicillin (100%), Ciproflaxacin (54.2%), Levoflaxacin (60.9%), Gentamicin(Syn) (82.1%), Streptomycin(Syn) (28.6%), Tigecycline (80%), Vancomycin(89.3%), Teicoplanin (96.4%), Linezolide (96.4%) and Nitrofurontion (100%), and they showed 100% resistance to Cefocitin, Amikacin, Gentamicin, Tobramycin, Clindamycin, Erythromycin, TMP-SXT, Fusidic acid and Quinopuristin-Dalfopuristin. The presence of Entrococcal species, which are very important in terms of zoonosis, in healthy budgerigars was revealed. In addition, the different types of antibiotic resistance found in the studies also reveal the necessity of performing antibiotic susceptibility tests in this type of infections. However, it has been demonstrated that which antibiotics will be effective in nosocomial and/or gastrointestinal infections of Enterococcal origin in budgerigars.

“…Animals, particularly wildlife ones, are believed to be the source of 70% of all emerging infections ( Ahmed et al ., 2007 ). Although in recent years special attention has been paid to the role of animals as sentinels and spreaders of AMR, few studies have evaluated the occurrence of AMR bacteria in wild and exotic pets ( Chiacchio et al ., 2016 ; Dias et al ., 2018 ; Cabral et al ., 2020 ; Marques et al ., 2021 ).…”

Background: The link between the reckless use of antimicrobials with the increasing development of multidrug-resistant strains of antibiotics is well established. To control the spread of AMR, action plans, recommendations and guidelines on the prudent use of antibiotics have been developed for food-producing animals and companion animals but appear to be lacking in exotic pets due to the scarcity of data and information on the use of antibiotics in these species. Aim: The purpose of this study is to bring qualitative and quantitative data regarding the use of antimicrobials in exotic pets in a veterinary center in southern Brazil, seeking to measure the consumption of these animals to determine and guide future actions to combat AMR. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted by surveying 2,190 open care records in a specialized clinic of wildlife medicine in 2018. Data evaluation was performed in a descriptive, qualitative, and quantitative way, and the analysis of antimicrobial consumption was performed by calculating the daily dose/g of animal ml/day/kg by animal order, condition and active principle, adaptation to DDDVet. For statistical analysis, Levene´s, ANOVA followed by Tukey´s tests were used. Results: Approximately 57% (1250/2190) of the visits made use of one or more antimicrobials in the treatment of animals referred to the clinic. Of these, 67% (n= 839) were birds, 26% (n= 327), mammals and 7% (n= 84) reptiles. During 2018, the total consumption of antimicrobials prescribed was 2.21L for the total biomass of 129.24kg. The relation between the dosages of the main antimicrobials used and the conditions treated showed that there is no variation between the treatments by disease and by animal class, due to the great variation within each group. Conclusion: The antimicrobial prescription in exotic pets requires a multifaceted and dynamic approach applied to safeguard the efficacy of the antimicrobials, optimizing consumption, minimizing the emergence of antimicrobial resistance and other possible adverse effects, considering the physiological differences present within each species. The doses between the different classes and conditions do not obtain a significant difference, reflects in a possible non-standardization of the dosages used, requiring further investigation the recommended dosages for each animal species, avoiding the over or underdosing of these drugs. It is worth highlighting that professionals must always make rational use of antimicrobials in these species.

“…The MALDI-TOF MS system is used successfully for precise identification of bacteria isolated from various types of specimens (Stępień-Pyśniak et al, 2017;Davies et al, 2016b;Cabral et al, 2020). Therefore, species identification would improve timeliness and reduce isolate identification costs in clinical bacteriology laboratories (Cherkaoui et al, 2010).…”

Microbiological studies of the sanitary and health status of psittacine birds that will be reintroduced is important in evaluating whether these animals act as carriers of pathogenic agents to other animals and humans. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a faster and more accurate method to identify bacteria than conventional microbiology methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the health status of psittacines housed in captivity, by assessment of Gram-negative bacteria from fecal microbiota through MALDI- TOF MS identification. The results indicate high frequency of Gram-negative bacteria in feces (96.5%), especially from the Enterobacteriaceae family (88.7%). The most prevalent bacteria were Escherichia coli (39.0%), Proteus vulgaris (12.2%), Klebsiella spp. (12.1%) and Raoultella ornithinolytica (8.7%). Proteus hauseri, Citrobacter spp., Morganella morgannii, Providencia rettgeri, Enterobacter spp. and Escherichia hermannii were isolated with lower frequency. . All these agents are potentially pathogenic for parrots and can cause systemic infections in other animals and humans. These findings reinforce that MALDI- TOF MS proved to be a rapid and accurate method of identification of the microorganism and evaluation of the health status of psittacines, providing relevant data to assist decision-making regarding the sanitary protocols in wildlife centers, and possible future reintroduction of wild birds.
