Abstract

This study was designed to detect the different types of bacterial pathogens in different species and ages of some wild birds in Egypt. Two hundred cloacal and tracheal swabs were collected from apparently healthy free-living and Captive wild birds were bacteriologically examined for detection of different bacterial pathogens. The results revealed isolation rare as follows: Escherichia coli (E. coli) (9%), Staphylococcus aureus (Staph. Aureus) (2%), Citrobacter spp. (1.5%), Klebsiella spp. (1.5%), Pseudomonas spp. (1%) and Salmonella spp. (1 %), however, Enterobacter spp., Shigella app., and Proteus spp. (0.5%). No Pasteurella spp. was isolated. Serotyping of 18 Isolates of E. coli revealed 9 different serotypes while Salmonella isolates serotyped as §. Give and S. Santiago. The antimicrobial patterns of all the bacterial isolates were studied and the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of each were recorded which is of great concern to public and animal health. It was concluded that most bacterial pathogens isolated from wild birds carry variable antibiotic resistance patterns and backed that to the widespread use of antibiotics to treat diseases and to promote growth by the livestock.
