Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistance of Gram negatives isolates from loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the central Mediterranean Sea.
TL;DR: In this study, antibiotic resistant bacteria reflect marine contamination by polluted effluents and C.caretta is considered a bioindicator which can be used as a monitor for pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenic microorganisms carried by migratory birds passing through the territory of the island of Ustica, Sicily (Italy)
Maria Foti,Donatella Rinaldo,Annalisa Guercio,C. Giacopello,Aurora Aleo,Filomena De Leo,Vittorio Fisichella,Caterina Mammina +7 more
TL;DR: Migratory birds are potential reservoirs of pathogenic agents; thus, they can be regarded as sentinel species and used as environmental health indicators and Antibiotic resistance in wildlife can be monitored to evaluate the impact of anthropic pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the microbial flora from the conjunctiva of healthy donkeys from Sicily (Italy)
TL;DR: The bacterial flora present in the normal conjunctiva of donkeys from Sicily is described to contribute to the knowledge about normal ocular flora and MRSA occurrence in donkey farms in Sicily.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salmonella bongori 48:z35:– in Migratory Birds, Italy
TL;DR: To the Editor: Serovars of Salmonella, other than subspecies enterica, are primarily associated with cold-blooded animals and infrequently colonize the intestines of warm-blooded animal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistance assessment in bacteria isolated in migratory Passeriformes transiting through the Metaponto territory (Basilicata, Italy)
Maria Foti,Antonietta Mascetti,Vittorio Fisichella,Egidio Fulco,Bianca Maria Orlandella,Francesco Lo Piccolo +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the integration of epidemiological surveillance networks during ringing campaigns of wild species can be an effective tool to study the frequency of isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of microorganisms found in the cloaca of common European passerines.
