Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate occurrence and the antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolates obtained from the feces of wild birds in Daegu. In total, 98 E. coli isolates (17.9%) were obtained from 547 fecal samples of wild birds. The E. coli carried by the birds showed a relatively high rate of antimicrobial resistance to tetracycline (27.6%) and ampicillin (21.4%). Drug resistance of the isolates to the others (penicillins, cephems, carbapenems, aminoglycosides, quinolones, sulfonamides and phenicols) resulted in the rates less than 20%, and all isolates were susceptible to imipenem, ciprofloxacin, cefotetan, and amikacin. Approximately, 45% E. coli among the isolates were resistant to one or more drugs tested. The higher rate of tetracycline resistance led us to determine the prevalence of the tet genes (tetA, tetB, tetC, tetD and tetE) in the tetracycline-resistant E. coli isolates by using PCR. All isolates of the tetracycline-resistant E. coli contained at least one or more of these tet genes examined. The most prevalent one was tetA (59.3%), and followed by tetB (7.4%) when tested with the selected 5 tet genes. Except tetA and tetB, however, the remaining tet genes (tetC, tetD, and tetE) tested were not found in this study. Nine isolates among the tetracycline-resistant E. coli contained the two (tetA and tetB) determinants of tetracycline resistance, simultaneously.
