“…Antimicrobial multiresistant strains of zoonotic Salmonella can spread from medicated livestock to wildlife, thus creating new reservoirs also acting as amplifiers and long‐distance dispersers (Allen et al., ). Avian scavengers can be directly affected by the ingestion of antibiotics used to treat livestock (Blanco et al., , ,), and this can also contribute to the creation of new resistances and the amplification of those acquired from livestock. All Salmonella strains isolated from both vultures species showed resistance to two or more of the antimicrobial agents tested.…”

“…It should be considered that this bacterium can be especially problematic in developing nestlings and immunocompromised individuals, including those affected with other pathogens and contaminants (Daoust & Prescott, ). In particular, livestock carcasses may be a shared source of pathogens and pharmaceuticals used to combat them (Blanco et al., , ,; Pitarch et al., ), especially antimicrobials that may alter the normal microbiota and depress the immune system (Keeney, Yurist‐Doutsch, Arrieta, & Finlay, ). Since Salmonella infection may be passed transovarially to eggs, its impact on female infertility and hatching success should also be evaluated in failed eggs to determine its impact on breeding failure and productivity.…”

“…However, the substantial use of drugs may increase the risk of adverse effects of these residues to humans [3, 22,23]. Continuous ingestion of veterinary drug residues can promote the development of drug resistance bacterial strains in an individual, resulting in resistance to treatment with the same antibiotics when need arises [24][25][26]. Veterinary drug traces also have harmful effects on humans, such as allergic reactions, liver damage, yellowing of teeth and gastrointestinal disturbance [27].…”

“…An excessive use of antibiotics in commercially reared animals does not only affect humans, it can also affect the food chain leading to ecological imbalances. For example, a deficient management of the livestock carcasses can lead to antibiotic resistance in the scavengers that ingest them, like vultures [24][25][26]. The disposal of medicated animals should be regulated to minimize the risk in scavenger birds.…”
