Detection and identification of medically important microorganisms isolated from pigeon excreta collected in a university in a newly industrialized country

Abstract: A exposição humana a fezes de animais contaminados com microrganismos patogênicos representa um risco para a saúde. A presença de fungos e leveduras em ambientes está relacionada a efeitos adversos na saúde respiratória. A abordagem objetiva para a mitigação de possíveis efeitos à saúde devido à exposição a fungos e leveduras em ambientes fechados é difícil devido à falta de diretrizes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi conhecer as condições higiênico-sanitárias, identificar e caracterizar organismos de importânci… Show more

“…The detection of genes encoding carbapenemase in urban pigeon feces has raised concerns regarding the likelihood of birds serving as reservoirs for the spread of these resistant determinants in both animals and humans (Morakchi et al 2017). Indeed, the dissemination of infectious agents through pigeon feces has been widely demonstrated for several other potentially pathogenic microorganisms, including Escherichia coli (Chidamba et al 2015), Klebsiella pneumoniae, Aspergillus spp., and Cryptococcus neoformans (De Oliveira Xavier et al 2019;Ghaderi et al 2019). In addition, the relationship between hospital contamination and pathogens present in bird feces has previously been established (Afunwa et al 2020), thereby highlighting the need to monitor the prevalence of these agents and their transmission within and between hospital settings.…”
