“…On the other hand, ESBL was only detected in a fecal sample, and although verotoxigenic E. coli was identified as the cause of death in one Cantabrian brown bear [ 12 ], none of the samples tested resulted positive in this study. ESBL has been detected in other wild mammals across the globe, including other bear species, e.g., sloth bear ( Melursus ursinus ), becoming an increasingly frequent pathogen of concern with potential human and/or animal origin [ 50 ].…”

“…world over due to communal spread of MDR strains and spread of resistance factors among different bacteria associated with abortions and metritis [40,41]. Emergence of carbapenem resistant bacteria is not only reported in domestic animals [41,42] but in captivated pets and wild animals too [43]. However, it certainly emphasizes the need for an early intervention to curb spread of AMR in uncontrolled manner in livestock.…”

Infectious reproductive disorders including abortions and metritis are important hurdles towards economic dairy farming. This study was undertaken to determine infectious bacterial causes of metritis and abortions in buffaloes and determination of their antimicrobial susceptibility. Samples of stomach contents of 23 aborted foeti and uterine aspirates of 20 buffaloes suffering from metritis were received for bacteriological analysis from Referral Veterinary Polyclinic and Centre for Animal Disease Research and Diagnosis.To identify the causal bacteria standard bacteriological method for isolation and identification of bacteria and antimicrobial susceptibility assay of isolates were followed. From 13 cases of abortion only single type of bacteria (Aeromonas media 1, Alcaligenees faecalis 2, Brucella abortus 4, Enterobacter agglomerans 1, Escherichia coli 3, Klebsiella pneumoniae ssp. pneumoniae 1, K. varians1) was detected while in 10 samples more than one type of bacteria were isolated. Antibodies in high titres (≥40) were detected in serum samples of 17 aborting buffaloes showing possibility of systemic infection before abortion. Antibodies were detected against A. media (1), A. faecalis (1), B. abortus (4), E. agglomerans (2), Enterobacter amnigenus (1), E. coli (3), K. pneumoniae ssp. pneumoniae(2), Kocuria varians (1), Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica ser Dublin (1) and Xenorhabdus poinarii (1). From uterine aspirates of six animals with metritis single type of bacteria (Acinetobacter lwoffii 3, Aeromonas salmonicida ssp. salmonicida 1, E. coli 1, K. varians 1) was detected while 14 samples had more than one type of bacteria. Irrespective of source, >90% bacterial isolates were susceptible to ajowan oil, cinnamon oil, cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol and thyme oil. Tigecycline was one of the most effective antibiotics but for other antibiotics susceptibility varied with source and type of bacteria. A total of 31.58% bacteria associated with metritis were resistant to carbapenems and were more often resistant to other antibiotics (MRI=0.45) than isolates from aborted foetuses (MRI= 0.33). Though B. abortus and E. coli were main causes of abortions, there was no fixed set of bacteria causing metritis and abortions in buffaloes. Multiple drug-resistant (MDR) and carbapenem drug-resistant (CR) bacteria are more often associated with metritis than with abortions.

“…Exploration of AMR in Indian wildlife is limited although the studies conducted in wild crows revealed resistance against quinolones followed by tetracyclines in Campylobacter isolates [ 48 ]. The captive wild animals kept in different zoological gardens revealed occurrence of multi-drug resistant Salmonella in golden pheasant and leopards [ 49 ], ESBL-producing E. coli in wild birds, deer, zebra, tiger, bear [ 50 ], multi-drug resistant, ESBL-producing/carbapenem resistant E. coli in rescued sloth bears [ 51 ].…”
