Abstract

Cloacal swabs and drooping samples of 48 wild birds, including 16sparrows, 6 Brewer's blackbirds (Songbirds /starling),7 black crows (raven) ,10 Doves, 5 quail . 2 Parrots (parakeets), 1 Eagles and 1 hawk were collected and subjected for isolation of potentially pathogenic bacteria between Marchand June 2013 from different sites at 3 Districts. located in Amran governorate (Yemen). Eleven bacterial species in 14 genera were isolated from wild birds. E. coli (15/48; 31.25%), Salmonella Typhimurium. (6/48; 12 %), Proteus mirabilis (6/48; 12 %), Proteus vulgaris (4/48, 8 %), Citrobacter frundii (6/48; 12 %), Klebsiella pneumonia (5/48; 10%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5/48; 8%), Campylobacter jejuni (4/48: 8%), Staphylococcus aureus (4/48; 8%), Enterococci (7/48;14%) and Clostridium perfringens (6/48; 12%) were the most prevalent bacterial groups recovered from examined wild birds. Bacterial species varied between bird species. Our results indicated the importance of wild birds as potential vectors of bacterial pathogens this can threaten both human and domestic birds. Control measures should be considered to prevent transmission of such bacteria.
