“…Considering only wild boar, the highest percentage of NWT isolates was observed for tetracycline and streptomycin (both 10.91%). Similar results were obtained in a study with wild boars inhabiting a national game reserve in Spain, where a higher percentage of NWT E. coli for tetracycline was identified [43]. Regardless of the system used for v interpretation of IZDs, v multiresistant isolates recovered from v wild ungulates from each of the study areas in Portugal presented the AMP R -S R -SXT R -T R phenotype and were predominantly found in wild boar (Tables 3 and 4).…”

“…Most of the MSSA isolates from free-living wild animals presented very low proportions of phenotypic resistance, which is probably linked to the absence of selective pressure due to no antimicrobial use in these animals (38). The highest resistance percentage found in our study was against benzylpenicillin (22.17%; 95% CI ϭ 16.81 to 27.54%).…”

eThe presence of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) was analyzed in different free-living wild animals to assess the genetic diversity and predominant genotypes on each animal species. Samples were taken from the skin and/or nares, and isolates were characterized by spa typing, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The proportion of MSSA carriers were 5.00, 22.93, 19.78, and 17.67% in Eurasian griffon vulture, Iberian ibex, red deer, and wild boar, respectively (P ‫؍‬ 0.057). A higher proportion of isolates (P ‫؍‬ 0.000) were recovered from nasal samples (78.51%) than skin samples (21.49%), but the 9.26% of red deer and 18.25% of wild boar would have been undetected if only nasal samples had been tested. Sixty-three different spa types were identified, including 25 new spa types. The most common were t528 (43.59%) in Iberian ibex, t548 and t11212 (15.79% and 14.04%) in red deer, and t3750 (36.11%) in wild boar. By MLST, 27 STs were detected, of which 12 had not been described previously. The most frequent were ST581 for Iberian ibex (48.72%), ST425 for red deer (29.82%), and ST2328 for wild boar (42.36%). Isolates from Eurasian griffon vulture belong to ST133. Host specificity has been observed for the most frequent spa types and STs (P ‫؍‬ 0.000). The highest resistance percentage was found against benzylpenicillin (average, 22.2%), although most of the S. aureus isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobial tested. Basically, MSSA isolates were different from those MRSA isolates previously detected in the same animal species.

“…Thus, ABR in the natural environment varies depending on geographical location, species and ecosystems (Katakweba et al, 2015). More specifically, the presence of nearby farms, human density and proximity, ABR levels carried by the livestock, and interaction with farm waste all influence the ABR seen in the nearby wild ungulates (Navarro-Gonzalez et al, 2013).…”

“…Navarro- Gonzalez et al (2013) studied ABR in E. coli isolates at a free-ranging livestock and wild ungulate interface in a national game reserve in Spain. Low ABR levels were detected in both the wild ungulates and in the free-ranging livestock, indicating that the free-ranging livestock were not an important source of ABR for wild ungulate ABR in that study.…”

“…But perhaps higher resistance levels in the wild ungulates would have been seen if intensively reared livestock were studied instead of free range. The wild ungulates showed resistance to cephalosporin and fluoroquinones, which are important antibiotics in human medicine, indicating that antibiotic resistant bacteria carried by wild ungulates are a concern to public health and that natural environments are not antibiotic resistant free (Navarro-Gonzalez et al, 2013). Mercat et al (2016) investigated ABR in E. coli isolates at a cattle and wild ungulate interface in and around a national park in Zimbabwe.…”

Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is regarded as one of today's major global health challenges. The development of ABR in nature is a complex phenomenon with many influencing factors, of which the farming industry is labelled a significant contributor. The transfer of ABR to humans, which usually occurs via the food chain, is of concern for human health. A food source that is increasing in popularity is game meat, which is farmed widely in South Africa. The natural environment, including wildlife, is not isolated from the rest of the farm, and thus could be a source of ABR or possibly a transfer vector. It is therefore important to assess the ABR situation in wildlife species and the factors that influence its emergence and transfer. Elements that play a part in the development of ABR in game species include certain harvesting and slaughtering and other farming practices and closer contact with humans and other farm animals. Additionally, natural transfer vectors include wind, water, manure, crops and animals. Worryingly, there is lack of knowledge of this situation owing to inadequate monitoring, documentation and control of antibiotics in the farming industry. The objective of this review was to gain better understanding of this situation, which would aid in the development of surveillance systems and methods to prevent or hinder the development of ABR in wildlife species. ______________________________________________________________________________________
