Abstract

The presence of antimicrobial-resis-tant bacteria in feces of 42 Peruvian Boobies (Sula variegata) from a Northern Peru island was evaluated using MicroScan and disk diffusion. Fourteen microorganisms were recovered, including three Pseudomonas spp. resistant to one antibiotic each, and four multiresistant Escherichia coli. Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are report-ed in S. variegata.

Funding Details

This study was supported by Fondo Nacio-nal de Desarrollo Científico, Tecnológico y de Innovación Tecnológica (FONDECYT–Perú) within the ‘‘Proyecto de Mejoramiento y Ampliación de los Servicios del Sistema Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Tecnológica’’ [contract: 08-2019-FONDE-CYT-BM-INC-INV’’], and by the Programa Nacional de Innovación en Pesca y Acuicul-tura and the Universidad Científica del Sur through the project ‘‘Aves Marinas como Centinelas del Mar: Uso de video-cámaras/ GPS en piqueros para monitorear actividades pesqueras ilícitas en el Perú (PNIPA-PES-SIADE-PP-000169)’’. This study was approved by the Institution-al Ethics Committee in Research with Animals and Biodiversity and the Ethical Committee of the Universidad Cient?fica del Sur. Permits to work on Gua?ape Norte island and swabbing the birds were issued by SERNANP ( RJ-012-2019-SERNANP-RNSIIPG and RJ 01-2020-SERNANP-RNSIIPG). Likewise, permits to use guano island installations were issued by Agrorural (Ofici o 0249-2019-MINAGRI-DVDIAR-AGRORURAL-DAB).
