ISOLATION AND MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIALLY PATHOGENIC Escherichia coli AND Campylobacter jejuni IN FERAL PIGEONS FROM AN URBAN AREA IN THE CITY OF LIMA, PERU

Abstract: SUMMARYFeral pigeons (Columbia livia) live in close contact with humans and other animals. They can transmit potentially pathogenic and zoonotic agents. The objective of this study was to isolate and detect strains of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli and Campylobacter jejuni of urban feral pigeons from an area of Lima, Peru. Fresh dropping samples from urban parks were collected for microbiological isolation of E. coli strains in selective agar, and Campylobacter by filtration method. Molecular identification of… Show more

“…Es importante mencionar el bajo número de E. coli diarreogénicas encontradas (0,5 %), sobre todo porque reportes anteriores, que analizaron muestras humanas mostraron su presencia en el 43 % de niños de áreas rurales de Perú (18) y en el 30 % de niños con o sin diarrea de áreas periurbanas de Lima (19) . Asimismo, su presencia en muestras de origen animal también ha sido reportada, incluyendo Lima y otras regiones peruanas (20,21) . La presencia de microorganismos resistentes a los antimicrobianos en los alimentos humanos es un problema creciente en América Latina (22) .…”

“…Se ha reportado que la presencia de Escherichia coli O157:H7 en heces de bovino parece estar influenciada por la edad del animal (15). Por ejemplo, los terneros de menos de ocho semanas de edad (56 días) y novillas excretan más la cepa de Escherichia coli que el ganado adulto (16).…”
