MRSA and enterobacteria of one health concern in wild animals undergoing rehabilitation

Abstract: The presence of contaminated animals in wildlife rehabilitation centers poses a threat for both animals and humans that come into contact with them or the contaminated environment. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), as well as studying the biofilm formation capacity of these isolates, Yersinia enterocolitica, Salmonella enterica and Campylobacter spp. in wild animals from a rehabilitation center. During a two-year period,… Show more

“…However, only a very limited number of studies reported the biofilm formation capacity of free-living wild animals’ strains. In a study conducted with wild animals undergoing rehabilitation, 72.5% of the S. aureus isolated were capable of forming biofilms [ 59 ].…”

“…AMR, virulence and host adaptation systems in S. aureus are of crucial public health concern in livestock, pets and wild animals as they can act as intermittent carriers or reservoirs of zoonoses [ 1 ]. Since the last decade, there is an increasing interest but little information about the global prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates in wild animals, despite being considered as potential reservoirs or vehicles for transmission [ 2 ].…”

“…As biofilms are resistant to host immune system and antibiotics, they contribute to the persistent and hard-to-treat character of staphylococcal diseases. According Silveira et al ( 2021 ), the biofilm-forming capacity of S. aureus strains isolated from wild animals (mammals, birds and reptiles) achieved similarly 72.5%. The difference in biofilm production ability could also be observed for various species.…”
