Avaliação de enterobactérias e suscetibilidade in vitro a antimicrobianos de isolados de aves de rapina diurnas cativas no Estado da Paraíba.

Abstract

Raptors are carnivore birds represented by Diurnal raptors (Orders Falconiformes and Accipitriformes) and Nocturnal raptors (Order Strigiformes), characterized by strong beaks and claws. Twenty eight cloacal swabs were collected from 8 different species of captive diurnal raptors from Paraiba State between 2010 and 2011. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the antibiotic resistance of the isolates. The cloacal swab samples were submitted to bacterial isolation, identification and, subsequently; antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Fifty three among bacterial isolates were obtained from raptor population examined. The most prevalent among the isolates were Escherichia coli (37,74%), Klebsiella spp (26,42%) and Salmonella spp (24,53%). The highest percentage of sensibility was ahead Amoxacilin + Clavulanic acid, whereas the most resistant percentage was checked against Tetraciclin. 79, 24% of all isolates expressed resistance to one or more antimicrobials and by Disc-diffusion criteria, all samples were negative for Extended-Spectrum Beta-lacatamasis (ESBL) production. In conclusion, it can be seen the diurnal raptors may consist of an important source of zoonotic and multidrug resistant pathogens dissemination.
