“…Only a few studies concerning the occurrence of salmonellae in rooks have been made to date. Rooks were examined for the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the UK (Harbourne 1955; Wilson and Macdonald 1967), Poland (Golębiowski 1988) and Croatia (Vlahović et al. 2004).…”

Aims: To characterize antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli and Salmonella isolates in rooks wintering in the Czech Republic. Methods and Results: Three hundred and sixty‐three faeces samples from rooks were examined for antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Altogether 13.7%E. coli isolates were resistant to antimicrobial agents tested. The dominant type of resistance was to tetracycline. Resistant E. coli isolates were examined for antibiotic resistance genes and class 1 integrons. Five of 29 antibiotic resistant isolates possessed the int1 gene. Nine Salmonella isolates (2.5%) were found in rook faeces. All the isolates belonged to serotype Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis phage type PT8 and PT23. Conclusions: The study suggests that rooks can be infected by antibiotic resistant E. coli and Salmonella isolates, probably reflecting the presence of such isolates in their sources of food and/or water in the environment. Significance and Impact of the Study: Rooks can serve as reservoirs and vectors of antibiotic resistant E. coli and Salmonella isolates and potentially transmit these isolates over long distances.

“…Only a few sources regarding E. coli and Salmonella isolates from rooks are known (Harbourne 1955; Wilson and Macdonald 1967; Golębiowski 1988; Vlahović et al. 2004) and the importance of rooks for the long‐distance transfer of these bacteria has not been studied.…”

“…Order Galliformes (Chappell et al., ); natural outbreaks of fowl typhoid (FT; S . Gallinarum) have been reported in sparrows, parrots, ring‐necked doves, ostriches and peafowl (Harbourne, ). Clinical outbreaks among species other than chickens and turkeys are uncommon (Shivaprasad, ).…”

“…The agent has been isolated from free‐living corvids, pigeons, psittacine birds, ducks (Harbourne, ; Georgiades and Iordanidis, ; Spickler, ), chicken‐house rats (Aydin et al., ; Badi et al., ), and there is serological evidence of serovar Gallinarum in doves (Espinosa‐Arguelles et al., ). Many avian species may be carriers (Barrow et al., ; Javed et al., ).…”
