“…The high prevalence of strains showing resistance or reduced susceptibility found in this study coincides with the outcomes of other research work undertaken in north-west Spain focused on chickens [26,27], game [28] and meat preparations [29,30]. Specifically regarding pigeons, a high prevalence of resistance has been noted in Spain [31], Japan [20], Belgium [13], Brazil [32], the Czech Republic [9], Poland [25], Bangladesh [33] and Slovakia [12]. Other researchers have also detected a considerable presence of resistance to antibiotics in strains of E. coli derived from the droppings of various kinds of wild birds and mammals living in close proximity to humans [9,24,34,35].…”

Monitoring resistance to antibiotics in wild animals may assist in evaluating tendencies in the evolution of this major public health problem. The aims of this research work were to determine the patterns of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli isolates from the meat of wild or domestically reared pigeons from Spain, to detect the presence of virulence and antibiotic resistance genes, and to carry out a phylogenetic classification of the isolates. Of the 37 E. coli strains tested, 32.43% of them belonged to the B2 phylogenetic group, which is often implicated in extra-intestinal infections. None of the strains showed extended-spectrum beta-lactamase activity. All the isolates presented resistance or reduced susceptibility to two or more antibiotics, with high levels of resistance to β-lactams, aminoglycosides and tetracycline. Ten resistance genes were detected, the most frequent of which were ampC, conferring resistance to ampicillin and aadA, conferring resistance to streptomycin. In total, 97.30% of the strains carried virulence factors (between one and five). The strains from pigeons reared in captivity harboured higher average numbers of resistance and virulence genes than isolates from wild pigeons. Pigeon meat is an important reservoir of E. coli with genes for antibiotic resistance and virulence having the potential to cause disease in humans.

“…15 The bla CTX-M-15 is the most successful genotype that has spread globally in humans, animals, and the environment, including some developing countries in different continents. 4,12,32 Previous studies in Latin America have demonstrated a dominance of bla CTX-M-15 in Bolivia, Peru, and Nicaragua. 15,30,33 This pattern was reflected also in our study; bla CTX-M-15 was dominant in humans, poultry, as well as wild birds, indicating dissemination in environmental and human/clinical settings in Nicaragua.…”

“…22 Wild birds are considered bioindicators of environmental antibiotic resistance, 11,13,23 and environmental dissemination of antibiotic resistance, more specifically ESBL, is a serious public health issue, which might have clinical implications. 7,24 Wild birds have been reported as carriers of ESBL-producing bacteria in many countries, [11][12][13]25 often at high carriage rates. The carriage rate of ESBL-producing bacteria among wild birds in Nicaragua, seen in our study, is in the same magnitude.…”

[8][9][10][11] In many countries, different bla CTX-M ESBL variants seem to be endemic in E. coli from the community, poultry, and wild birds, 8,[11][12][13] however, there is lack of information from the Central American countries.…”

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a major concern in the healthcare of today, especially the increasing number of gram-negative bacteria producing β-lactamases such as extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). However, little is known about the relationship of ESBL producers in humans and domestic and wild birds, especially in a low-income setting. Therefore, we studied the fecal carriage of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in healthy humans, poultry, and wild birds in the vicinity of León, Nicaragua. Three hundred fecal samples were collected during December 2012 from humans (n = 100), poultry (n = 100) and wild birds (n = 100). The samples were examined for ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae, revealing the prevalence of 27% in humans, 13% in poultry, and 8% in wild birds. Further characterization of the ESBL-producing isolates was performed through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (NDM, CTX-M), epidemiological typing (ERIC2-PCR), multilocus sequence typing, and sequencing. ESBL producers harbored bla, bla, bla, and bla genotypes. The bla constituted the absolute majority of ESBL genes among all samples. ERIC-PCR demonstrated highly related E. coli clones among humans, poultry, and wild birds. Clinically relevant E. coli clone ST648 was found in humans and poultry. There is a shared pool of bla genes between humans and domesticated and wild birds in Nicaragua, and the results suggest shared clones of ESBL-producing E. coli. The study adds to the notion that wild birds and poultry can pick up antibiotic-resistant bacteria of human origin and function as a melting pot of resistance. Structured surveillance programs of antimicrobial resistance and a more regulated prescription of antibiotics are warranted in Nicaragua.
