CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME STRAINS OF E. COLI ISOLATED FROM P. PERDIX FROM THE WESTERN PART OF ROMANIA
Abstract
21 strains of E. coli isolated from wild partridge birds - P. Perdix from the western part of Romania were studied. Through laboratory examination, the phenotypic characters of the isolated E. coli strains were highlighted. 21/70 (30%) of E. coli strains isolated from Perdix perdix fixed Congo Red, all isolated strains fermented lactose 21/21 (100%). Hemolytic activity was highlighted in a single strain of E. coli 1/21 (0.21%). The final identification of E. coli strains isolated from wild birds was done using the API 20E kit. The identified resistance types in the tested strains were highlighted based on their behavior towards antibiotics. E coli strains isolated were sensitive to enrofloxacin 19/21 (90.48%) and florfenicol 18/21 (85.7%) and resistant to erythromycin and neomycin 18/21 (85.7%) Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole 16/21 (76.2%) and colistin 14/21 (71.4%).
