Abstract: This study aimed to review the scientific literature for information about free-living pigeons (Columba livia) as potential reservoirs of Salmonella sp. and Escherichia coli. Rock doves are currently adapted to the urban environment and distributed all over the world. These birds carry microorganisms that are pathogenic for man and other animals, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Among these microorganisms, Salmonella is a pathogenic genus that cause severe economic losses and it is zoonotic, cau… Show more

“…Salmonella infection is considered a serious medical and veterinary problem worldwide, which causes food safety and zoonotic importance hazards, as well as responsible for considerable losses among cage birds and pigeons [2]. Salmonellosis is considered the major bacterial disease in pigeons; it causes mortality in young chick and occasional deaths in adult pigeons, which is important reason of economic losses in poultry industry.…”

“…In addition, pigeons are in close contact with humans in different public locations, such as historical places, parks, and squares. These birds may pose possible risks to public health due to carriage of different zoonotic microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa) and antimicrobial resistant bacteria (Vasconcelos et al, 2018;Perez-Sancho et al 2020).…”

“…and Enterococcus spp. (Vasconcelos et al, 2018;Perez-Sancho et al 2020). Oral administration of various antibiotics for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes causes selective pressure on the microbiota and leads the selection of resistant bacteria (Mehdi et al 2018).…”

“…Another important routes of transmission have also been reported, such as contact with surfaces contaminated with organic matter, or with moist soils, water where the agent can survive for long periods (Shah et al, 2019), illicit or occasionally prescribed drugs or fluids and transplacental transmission (Touchan et al, 2009). Infection through direct contact with host/reservoir animals, such as pet birds, mainly in veterinarians and caretakers (Hoelzer et al, 2011), direct contact with reptiles (Friedman et al, 1998) and other animals (De Freitas Neto et al, 2010;Vasconcelos et al, 2018) have also been described. Nosocomial transmission and direct contact with infected people are less important means of infection (Hohmann, 2001).…”
