Abstract / Zusammenfassung

In the present study, the presence of the Enterobacterales, Staphylococcus spp., Mammaliicoccus spp., and Enterococcus spp. in cloacal samples of nestling ospreys (Pandion haliaetus), a fish-eating specialist, from Mono Lake, California, USA was examined by a multiphasic approach, including antimicrobial and biocide susceptibility testing, genotyping, and whole genome sequencing of selected isolates. The most commonly detected species was Escherichia coli, followed by Mammaliicoccus sciuri, Staphylococcus delphini, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Hafnia alvei, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter braakii and single isolates of Edwardsiella tarda, Edwardsiella albertii, Klebsiella aerogenes, Plesiomonas shigelloides and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) was observed in two E. coli isolates and in an Enterococcus faecium isolate. The MDR bla_CTX-M-55-positive E. coli belonged to the pandemic clone ST58. The results of the present study suggest that nestling ospreys are exposed to MDR bacteria, possibly through the ingestion of contaminated fish. Ospreys may be good biosentinels for the presence of these microorganisms and antibiotic resistance in the local environment and the risk for other wildlife, livestock and humans.
