Study of the spread of the antibiotic resistance phenomenon in a wolf population (Canis lupus, Linneaus 1758) in the Aspromonte National Park
Monitoring antibiotic resistance in wildlife is a useful method of evaluating the impact of anthropic pressure (THALLER et al., 2010). Several studies have shown that the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans and in veterinary medicine is accompanied by a similar co-emerge...

Monitoring antibiotic resistance in wildlife is a useful method of evaluating the impact of anthropic pressure (THALLER et al., 2010). Several studies have shown that the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans and in veterinary medicine is accompanied by a similar co-emergence in wild species (GILLIVER et al., 1999; OSTERBLAD et al., 2001; GUENTHER et al., 2010; HO et al., 2011). This eventuality can presumably be related to environmental exposure to antimicrobial residues, resistant bacteria or resistance genes (GILLIVER et al., 1999; OSTERBLAD et al., 2001; ALLEN et al., 2011). The study aimed to identify little known epidemiological aspects by focusing on the isolation of potentially pathogenic enterobacteria in a wolf population (Canis lupus, Linneaus, 1758) living in the Aspromonte National Park (Reggio Calabria, Italy). The Park enjoys an extraordinary faunistic wealth and the local mountains are an excellent retreat for the wolves that are distributed across the protected area in three reproductive packs.
