“…The genus Salmonella includes approximately 2,500 serotypes and all bird species are considered to be susceptible to the bacteria; host specificity is known in some of these serotypes. When the same serotype is isolated from different species (for example, S. Typhimurium), techniques providing further discrimination have shown that specific biotypes are associated with diseases in certain species (Tizard, 2004). This is probably the case of S. Hessarek and starlings.…”

ABSTRACT:We investigated two mortality events in wintering and migrating Song Thrushes (Turdus philomelos) in Catalonia, northeastern Spain in 2009 and 2010. Both episodes occurred in late February to mid-March during the spring migration. Salmonellosis produced by the serotype Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype Hessarek (S. Hessarek) was identified as the cause of death in both episodes. Poor body condition, marked splenomegaly, and microscopic disseminated intravascular coagulation with numerous intravascular and tissular bacteria were the most consistent findings. Macro-restriction profiling by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) using XbaI was performed for epidemiologic typing of the S. Hessarek isolates. Two clusters were discernible, that are possibly related, with a similarity of 82.8%. Analysis comparing pectoral muscle and subcutaneous fat scores from the Song Thrushes that died from S. Hessarek with those from healthy Song Thrushes from nearby areas during 2009 and 2010 suggest that poor body condition was associated with the S. Hessarek infection.

“…are leading causes of bacterial foodborne diseases and fatalities in humans and effective antimicrobial therapy is therefore critical (Scallan et al 2011;Ge et al 2013). Wild birds are asymptomatic carriers of these enteropathogens and the bacteria are transmitted to humans directly or indirectly, sometimes resulting in disease outbreaks (Cole et al 2005;Tizard 2004;Smith et al 2005;Waldenström et al 2002). It can be assumed that subclinical human infections are often not recognized but may result in a spread of AMR bacteria.…”

Microdilution testing reveals considerable and diverse antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli, thermophilic Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. isolated from wild birds present in urban areas

et al. 2017

The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of E. coli, Salmonella spp. and thermophilic Campylobacter spp. isolated from wild birds in the Austrian-Czech border region, predominantly within the vicinity of Vienna and Brno, was determined. Bacteria were isolated from cloacal swabs taken from 53 avian species belonging to 14 orders, the majority being feral pigeons and various songbirds. Consequently, 1978 E. coli, 24 Salmonella and 99 Campylobacter isolates were tested by microdilution method against a panel of 14 (E. coli and Salmonella spp.) or ten antimicrobial substances (Campylobacter spp.). The AMR varied greatly between Austrian and Czech isolates, between different bird and bacterial species and between the different antimicrobials without consistent trends being recognizable. In 331 from 664 birds, differences in the AMR profile between the two or three E. coli isolates from the same bird were observed. Concerning E. coli, the least effective antimicrobial was cephalotin (90.8% of isolates resistant); for Campylobacter it was trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (71.4% of isolates resistant). None of the antimicrobials was effective against all E. coli or Campylobacter isolates. In contrast, more than half of the antimicrobials were effective against all Salmonella isolates, but 71.4% of the Czech Salmonella isolates and all of the Austrian Salmonella isolates were multi-resistant (resistant to three or more antimicrobial substances); streptomycin being the least effective antimicrobial substance (90.5% of isolates resistant). It is concluded that AMR in zoonotic bacteria from wild birds in the investigated densely populated areas is widespread and diverse, arguing for certain care at the wildlifehuman interface, but AMR to clinically important and critical antimicrobials is relatively low.

“…Mientras que en las gaviotas dominicanas, la mayoría de los serovares aislados de S. enterica (36,1%) se obtuvieron de muestras de heces tomadas directamente de la cloaca, seguido de muestras de torulado fecal, de intestino y de la solución de lavado de patas (19,4%) (Tabla 1). En general, las gaviotas son resistentes a la infección por Salmonella, pero son efi caces portadoras de ella 23 , así lo demuestra la mayor fuente de origen de estos aislados que fueron de heces de cloaca, de lavado de patas y de intestino, lo que indica que mantienen el agente en su organismo y constituye una vía de diseminación. Con respecto al serovar Infantis, 2 de las 4 cepas aisladas en gaviotas dominicanas tuvieron su origen del torulado traqueal (5,6%), y con respecto al serovar Anatum, el total de las 3 cepas, aunque de fuentes diferentes, se relacionaron con el tracto intestinal (1 de torulado fecal, 1 de heces y 1 de intestino).…”
