Perfil de resistência e ou sensibilidade antibacteriana de enterobactérias coletadas de P. expansa

Abstract

The order Testudines known today as turtles, comprise turtles, tortoise and turtles, the Podocnemidae Family has the representative considered the largest freshwater Turtle, popularly known as the Amazon turtle, Podocnemidae, Podocnemis expansa can be natural hosts and act as reservoirs for various microorganisms. Given the above, the objective was to identify and trace the profile of resistance and or antimicrobial sensitivity of enterobacteria collected from P. expansa from natural environment and comercial captivity. 50 samples of P. expansa, 15 males with sexual maturity, 15 females with sexual maturity, 10 juvenile males and 10 juvenile females were randomly captured from each environment. After capturing the animals, microbiological material was collected. A total of 5,355 bacterial strains were evaluated, of which 2,725 came from P. expansa from the natural environment and 2,630 from P. expansa from comercial captivity. The distribution of microrganisms in the two environments is not the same, showing prevalence in the two environments of Shigella spp., Hafnia spp. and E. coli. Regarding the resistance and/or sensivity profile shigella spp., E. coli and Klebsiella spp. represent the microorganisms colleted most difficult to be eliminated with antibiotic therapy, with multi-resistance to antimicrobials in more than 50% of the antibiotics used, against the microorganosms of P. expansa from the natural environment and from comercial captivity. The results obtained in this study emphasize the importance of knowing the profile of enterobacteria isolated from of knowing the profile of enterobactéria isolated from the community and having their constant monitoring, considering that these bactéria are found as members of the residente and transiente microbiota of Podocnemis expansa,  both in natural and captive environments comercial, also emphasizing the importance of antisepsis care that should be performed by the people who handle Podocnemis expansa, either for research pourposes or for slaugner.
