【 摘 要 】

References(37)Prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria in wildlife can reveal the actual level ofanthropological burden on the wildlife. In this study, we isolated two multipledrug-resistant strains, GG6-2 and GG6-1-1, from 27 fresh feces of wild western lowlandgorillas in Moukalaba-Doudou National Park, Gabon. Isolates were identified asAchromobacter xylosoxidans and Providencia sp.,respectively. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of the following 12 drugs—ampicillin(ABPC), cefazolin (CEZ), cefotaxime (CTX), streptomycin (SM), gentamicin (GM), kanamycin(KM), tetracycline (TC), nalidixic acid (NA), ciprofloxacin (CPFX), colistin (CL),chloramphenicol (CP) and trimethoprim (TMP)—were determined. Isolate GG6-2 was resistantto all antimicrobials tested and highly resistant to CTX, SM, TC, NA and TMP. IsolateGG6-1-1 was resistant to ABPC, CEZ, TC, CL, CP and TMP.
