Thus, the current study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of CROs among pet animals suffering from respiratory illness. Nasal swabs from 100 pet animals (51 dogs and 49 cats) showing respiratory illness were screened for CROs. The obtained swabs were streaked onto CHROMagar mSuper CARBA TM medium followed by sub-culturing on MacConkey agar. Colonies were identified by cultural characteristics, Gram staining, and biochemical tests as well as molecular techniques. Then, the identified isolates were confirmed to be CROs after being non-susceptible to at least one of four carbapenem antibiotics using the Kirby-Bauer method. The confirmed CRO isolates were also investigated on molecular basis for carbapenemase-encoding genes ( bla NDM , bla KPC , bla OXA-48 , bla VIM , bla IMP ). Out of 100 pet animals, 6 yielded CROs with an overall occurrence rate 6% (3.9% for all tested dogs and 8.2% for all tested cats). The obtained CRO isolates were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , and Enterobacter cloacae with the following distribution among the examined animals 3%, 1%, 1%, and 1%, respectively. Bla NDM was the only detected carbapenemase-encoding gene among the isolates and it was detected in two cat isolates. In conclusion, the results of the current study highlight the emergence of carbapenem-resistant organisms among pet animals suffering from respiratory illness which may have a possible public health risk.","PeriodicalId":202817,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Medical Journal (Giza)","volume":"73 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141838696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enterococci are commensal intestinal bacteria and opportunistic pathogens in humans and animals. The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of enterococci in broiler breeder hatcheries in 3 different governorates in Egypt “Sharqia, Beheira, and Dakahlia” with regard to the manifested diseases. The isolation results revealed that E. faecalis occurrence in the examined samples were 5.4% (65/1200) from pipped chicks’ yolk sacs and 5.8% (69/1200) from live chicks’ organs. The antibiotic susceptibility testing of the recovered isolates showed high resistance to vancomycin, oxytetracycline and high sensitivity for penicillin, difloxacin and amikacin. The genetic screening for some virulence and antibiotic resistance genes indicated the high incidence of gelE and asa1 virulence genes between the recovered isolates in correlation with the high incidence of ermB and blaZ antibiotic resistance genes. In conclusion, hygienic measures in breeders' hatcheries are recommended to avoid the spreading of resistance and virulent E. faecalis as it represents a public health threat in addition to its deleterious effects on poultry production.","PeriodicalId":202817,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Medical Journal (Giza)","volume":"92 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141844186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
