Resumo
The wild animal trafficking is the third largest illegal activity in the world, ranking only behind the trafficking of weapons and drugs. The birds are the animals most affected by the illegal trade. Besides damaging to biodiversity, trafficking can also pose risks to human health. A number of diseases can be transmitted and acquired by the birds, the most commonly detected in the bacterial etiology. Improper management, especially related to transportation and overcrowding, promotes increased susceptibility to infections of birds or even the activation of latent infection with subsequent spread of pathogens. For these reasons this study aimed to
conduct research and determine the Enterobacteriaceae resistance of strains of Escherichia coli, as well as raising the frequency of Chlamydophila spp. of parrots seized in actions to combat trafficking of wild animals in Goiás, with proper authorization from the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA / GO). For this, 300 parrots in a period of one year were enrolled in the Screening Center of Wild Animals (CETAS), in Goiânia, Goiás, and underwent clinical and laboratory examinations. For
Research Enterobacteriaceae were collected excreta from the bottom of cages, lined with aluminum foil and packed in ice for transport to the laboratory where they were examined by conventional bacteriological method. For the presence of Chlamydophila psittaci 300 cloacal swabs and 300 tracheids were collected and analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We have identified the following excreta bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae: Escherichia coli, 172/300 (33.87%), Enterobacter spp. 153/300 (30.12%), Klebsiella spp. 89/300 (17, 73%), Citrobacter spp. 9 / 300 (11.71%), Proteus vulgaris 21/300 (4.23%), Providencia alcalifaciens 5 / 300 (0.98%), Serratia sp.5/300 (0.98%), Hafnia aivei 3 / 300 ( 0.59%) and Salmonella sp. 1 / 300 (0.19%). Escherichia coli isolates were tested using the sensitivity to antibiotics, which revealed: amoxicillin (10mg) (70.93%), ampicillin (10mg) (75.58%), ciprofloxacin (5μg) (69.76%), chloramphenicol (30μg) (33.14% ), doxycycline (30μg) (64.53%), enrofloxacin (5μg) (41.28%), tetracycline (30μg) (69.19%), sulfonamide (300μg) (71.51%) of antimicrobial resistance. Of samples, 11/300 (3.66%) were positive in PCR analysis for Chlamydophilla spp. The results suggest that parrots from illegal trade are potential backers of zoonotic agents, and also point to the possibility that wild birds would constitute support for transfer of resistant phenotypes of E. coli to the human microbiota and other animals
