There is a paucity of research conducted on microbial prevalence in pheasants. The microbiota of captive birds has zoonotic significance and must be characterize. Present study is therefore planned to assess the microbiota from oral, fecal and gut content of captive avian species. It will be helpful in characterization of harmful microbes. Different samples taken from oral, gut and feces of ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus), green pheasants (Phasianus versicolor), golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus) and silver pheasant (Lophura nycthemera). Samples were collected, diluted, and inoculated onto different agar plates (MacConkey, SS agar, MSA and nutrient agar) for cultivation of bacterial species. Colonies of E.coli, Staphylococcus spp. Brachyspira spp. and Campylobacter spp were observed based on colony morphology. Colony forming unit showed E. coli as frequently found bacteria in fecal, oral and gut contents of all the above pheasants. The overall significance difference was found among bacterial species of golden pheasants, green pheasant, ring-necked pheasant, and silver pheasants. It was concluded that E.coli is predominant isolated from heathy pheasants followed by Campylobacter, Staphylococcus and Brachyspira.
关于雉鸡体内微生物的流行情况，相关研究较少。笼养鸟类的微生物群具有人畜共患的意义，必须加以描述。因此，本研究计划评估圈养禽类的口腔、粪便和肠道内容物中的微生物群。这将有助于描述有害微生物。从环颈雉（Phasianus colchicus）、绿雉（Phasianus versicolor）、金鸡（Chrysolophus pictus）和银雉（Lophura nycthemera）的口腔、肠道和粪便中采集不同样本。采集样本，稀释后，接种到不同的琼脂平板（麦康凯、SS 琼脂、MSA 和营养琼脂）上，以培养细菌种类。根据菌落形态观察到大肠杆菌、葡萄球菌、短螺旋体和弯曲杆菌的菌落。根据集落形成单位的结果显示，在上述所有雉鸡的粪便、口腔和肠道内容物中，大肠杆菌是最常发现的细菌。在金鸡、绿雉、环颈雉和银雉的细菌种类之间发现了总体显著性差异。结果表明，从健康雉鸡中分离出的大肠杆菌最为常见，其次是弯曲杆菌、葡萄球菌和短螺旋体。
