Abstract

Abstract: Relatively little is known regarding the role of wildlife in the development of antibiotic resistance. Our aim was to assess the presence of the tetracycline resistance genes, tet(A), tet(B), tet(C), tet(D), tet(E), tet(G), tet(K), tet(L), tet(M), tet(O), tet(P), tet(Q), tet(S), and tet(X), in tissue samples of 14 hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) and 15 crested porcupines (Hystrix cristata) using PCR assays. One or more tet genes were found in all but three hedgehogs and one crested porcupine. Of the 14 tetracycline resistance genes investigated, 13 were found in at least one sample; tet(G) was not detected. We confirmed the potential role of wild animals as bioindicators, reservoirs, or vectors of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment.

欧洲刺猬和冠豪猪体内四环素耐药基因的检测

摘要:关于野生动物在抗生素耐药性发展中的作用，人们知之甚少。我们的目的是用PCR方法检测14只刺猬(Erinaceus europaeus)和15只冠豪猪(Hystrix cristata)组织样本中tet(A)、tet(B)、tet(C)、tet(D)、tet(E)、tet(G)、tet(K)、tet(L)、tet(M)、tet(O)、tet(P)、tet(Q)、tet(S)和tet(X)四环素抗性基因的存在。除了三只刺猬和一只冠豪猪外，所有的人都有一个或多个tet基因。在所调查的14个四环素耐药基因中，有13个至少在一个样本中发现;未检测到tet(G)。我们证实了野生动物作为环境中耐药细菌的生物指示物、宿主或媒介的潜在作用。
