Identification of Anthropogenic Impact on Natural Habitats by Antimicrobial Resistance Quantification in Two Neotropical Wild Cats and Their Geospatial Analysis

Abstract: Human activities such as habitat degradation and fragmentation threaten biodiversity in Neotropical areas. This work proposes an analytical methodology to identify natural areas in Central America with anthropogenic impact, analyzing the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in accordance with their theoretical relationship with human-related activities. Sixteen ARGs were quantified in feces of different individuals of 13 jaguars (Panthera onca) and 13 pumas (Puma concolor) in three conservation ar… Show more

“…Current scientific evidence indicates that human activities are closely related to AMR occurrence in various ecological niches at different trophic levels (47). In this matter, studies of the last years support the hypothesis that the regional varying type, degree, and density of landscape's anthropization differently shape AMR epidemiology in wild herbivore and omnivorous populations inhabiting the human-wildlife interface (52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57), which agrees with the observation in predators of such habitats (6,10,11,17). Despite the relatively low settlement density, the habitats of the Costa Rican Northern Pacific region are characterized by the high density of crops and the presence of extensive livestock (27).…”

“…Although tetracycline and its derivates are not currently a common target for the screening of AMR in wild populations, tetracycline resistance has been frequently reported in antimicrobial-resistant E. coli isolated from wild carnivorous species in America (15), Africa (6), and Europe (4, 5, 8, 11, 12, 14). By culture-independent methods, ARGs associated with tetracycline resistance were also detected in such wild populations (10,17,18). Current scientific evidence indicates that human activities are closely related to AMR occurrence in various ecological niches at different trophic levels (47).…”

“…Adicionalmente, las bacterias resistentes a antibióticos pueden propagarse de fuentes antropogénicas a ecosistemas naturales, pudiendo afectar el estado de salud de los animales silvestres y, por tanto, su conservación. En ese sentido, existen múltiples estudios que evidencian la presencia de ARGs en excretas tanto de animales silvestres como animales adaptados a las condiciones ambientales modificadas por la actividad humana (Angulo et al, 2023;Blanco-Peña et al, 2017;Rodríguez et al, 2007), pero hay una carencia notoria de información sobre la afectación de su salud. Además, los animales silvestres pueden ser reservorio de bacterias resistentes con importancia clínica (Dolejska y Literak, 2019), facilitando su transmisión a humanos o animales domésticos.…”
