Identification of shiga toxin and intimin genes in Escherichia coli detected from canary (Serinus canaria domestica)

Abstract: The pathogenicity of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains is, in large part, due to shiga toxin (Stx) genes (Stx1 and Stx2) and/or intimin (eae) gene. The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of domestic canaries (Serinus canaria domestica) as a reservoir of Stx and intimin producing strains of E. coli. For this study, a total of 50 cloacal swabs were collected from 50 healthy domestic canaries. Cloacal swabs were cultured and tested using standard methods of microbiology. After primary i… Show more

“…Experimentally colonized chickens have been reported to harbor and shed STEC O157:H7 in their feces for periods in excess of 11 months (127). Pet birds such as canaries (Serinus canaria domestica) have also been reported to be capable of harboring and shedding STEC (128).…”

“…Few studies have previously investigated Gramnegative infections in domestic canaries (Serinus canaria domestica). 5,[8][9][10] The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria among canaries with signs of illness and the antimicrobial sensitivity patterns of the bacterial isolates.…”
