dc.description.abstract | Salmonella is mostly noted as a food-borne pathogen, but contact with chelonians has also
been reported as a source of infection. Moreover, high levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have
been reported in Salmonella isolated from wild and captive reptiles. The aim of this study was to assess
the occurrence of Salmonella AMR carriage by chelonians admitted to two zoological institutions
in Spain, characterizing the isolates to assess the Salmonella AMR epidemiology in wildlife. To this
end, 152 chelonians from nine species were sampled upon their arrival at the zoological nuclei.
Salmonella identification was based on ISO 6579-1:2017 (Annex D), isolates were serotyped and their
AMR analysed according to the EU Decision 2013/652. Moreover, the genetic relationship of the
isolates was assessed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Results showed 19% (29/152) of the
chelonians positive to Salmonella, all of them tortoises. For all isolates, 69% (20/29) were resistant
and 34% (10/29) multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. PFGE clustered isolates according to the serovar,
confirming a low genetic diversity. In conclusion, this study shows a high presence of MDR Salmonella
strains in tortoises at their entry into zoological nuclei. This condition highlights the need to establish
Salmonella detection protocols for the entry of animals into these centres. | ca |
