| الوصف: |
Aerococcus viridans is an emerging pathogen for humans and livestock animals, mainly associated with genitourinary infections cases. Its occurrence in wild mammals has never been reported. The aim of this study was to determine the etiological agent associated with clinical a case of a genital infection in a female African elephant (Loxodonta africana). Phylogenetic analysis and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of the isolate were also addressed. The animal presented frequent cases of genital infection with intermittent white secretion. Purulent secretion was sampled and submitted to bacteriological exam. The isolate obtained was thus identified by phenotypic and molecular methods as A. viridans and was found to be similar to human pathogenic isolates in BLASTn and phylogenetic analysis. The isolate was sensitive to almost all antimicrobials evaluated, presenting resistance to ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin. This is the first report of occurrence of A. viridans infection in the genital tract of an African elephant. |
