Airborne methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, other bacteria, fungi, endotoxin, and dust in a pigeon exhibition

Anne Mette Madsen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the potential human exposure to airborne microorganisms, including MRSA, in a pigeon exhibition in Denmark. The results showed high concentrations of fungi, bacteria, and endotoxin in the air, with concentrations up to 200 times higher than outdoor references. The bacteria found in the exhibition were mainly species found in pigeon coops, indicating that pigeons are the sources of exposure. The presence of airborne MRSA highlights the importance of considering this environment as a potential place of exchange of resistant bacteria between animals and humans.

Multidrug-Resistant Phenotypes of Escherichia coli Isolates in Wild Canarian Egyptian Vultures (Neophron percnopterus majorensis)

Alejandro Suarez-Perez et al.

Summary: The study on Escherichia coli isolates from Canarian Egyptian vultures revealed a high prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, with tetracycline being the primary resistant antibiotic. The results suggest that wild birds may serve as a vector for the spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria, emphasizing the importance of reducing exposure of wild birds to antibiotics from human activities.
