【 摘 要 】

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7925.2015v28n3p177This study aimed to isolate and identify enterobacteria observed in two populations of blond capuchin monkeys ( Sapajus flavius ) kept in captivity. The study was conducted with 12 animals, 6 from the Wild Animals Screening Center (CETAS), in Cabedelo, Paraíba, Brazil, and 6 from the João Pessoa City Zoo. The collection of stool samples was performed directly into the rectal ampoule by using sterile swabs and they were processed for isolating bacteria on selective media, followed by identification through biochemical tests. The frequencies observed in the samples collected at CETAS were: 80% (4/5) forSalmonellaspp.; 20% (1/5) forShigellaspp.; and 20% (1/5) forEnterobacterspp. In turn, at the zoo, the frequency observed was 100% (3/3) forSalmonellaspp. Due to the fact that these enterobacteria are potential sources of infections, there is a need to improve the health monitoring of these animals, through periodic investigations at CETAS�? facilities and zoos. Simultaneously, there is a need to monitor the health of professionals who make direct contact to these animals, through periodic examinations, as well as the adoption of appropriate biosecurity measures to prevent transmission of these pathogens.
