Reptile trade and chelonians-associated Salmonellosis in humans: A public health concern.

Animal trade has become a serious criminal practice in the world. Every day thousands of exotic wild animals, including reptiles, are farmed and sold worldwide. The illegal collection of turtles and tortoises remains completely unsupervised and represents a big challenge for responsible authorities.

In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Essential Oils from , , , and Their Blend Against Necrotoxigenic (NTEC), Enteropathogenic (EPEC), and Shiga-Toxin Producing (STEC) Isolates.

Enteropathogenic (EPEC), necrotoxigenic (NTEC), and Shiga-toxin producing (STEC) are pathotypes responsible for severe clinical forms in humans and animals. They can be shed in the feces of animals with consequent environmental contamination. This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of essential oils (EOs) from oregano (, savory , thyme (, and their blend against EPEC, NTEC, and STEC strains previously isolated from avian fecal samples.

Survey on the Occurrence of Zoonotic Bacterial Pathogens in the Feces of Wolves () Collected in a Protected Area in Central Italy.

Previous investigations have explored the involvement of wolves in parasitic and viral diseases, but data on the zoonotic bacteria are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of bacterial zoonotic agents in 16 wolf () fecal samples collected in a protected area in Central Italy. spp.

Nasal Carriage of Antimicrobial-Resistant Staphylococci by Fallow Deer () Taken in a Natural Park of Tuscany, Central Italy.

Wild animals are recognized as significant reservoirs for various zoonotic pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the presence of spp. strains in fallow deer () inhabiting a natural preserve in Central Italy and to examine the phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance and the presence of some virulence genes among the isolates.
