Lizards belonging to the genus are native to America and have been introduced in many parts of the world. In this work, a gastrointestinal microbiological analysis from sp. introduced to Tenerife, Canary Island, was carried out. A total of 74 individuals were analyzed by culture and molecular tools. spp. was the most prevalent bacteria isolated (64.3%), followed by enteropathogenic with at least one of the investigated virulent genes ( and ) (44.6%). The gene was more prevalent which differs to that reported in other reptiles, probably due to wastewater transmission. spp. was detected in 32.4% of the animals, highlighting the detection of and by their relevance to public health. The zoonotic , found in 14.9% of the animals, was firstly detected in reptiles. sp. which is more associated with aquatic environments was found in 10.8% of the lizards in this study, with being found in two of the animals. The prevalence of sp. (5.4%) was low, compared with other studies carried out in reptiles. These results indicate that sp. in Tenerife could be playing a role in the maintenance and spread of the pathogens detected, being a possible risk factor for public health and biodiversity conservation.
属于该属的蜥蜴原产于美洲，并已被引入世界许多地区。在这项工作中，对引入加那利群岛特内里费岛的某蜥蜴物种进行了胃肠道微生物分析。通过培养和分子工具共分析了74只个体。某菌属是分离出的最常见细菌（64.3%），其次是带有至少一种所研究的毒力基因（……和……）的肠道致病菌（44.6%）。某基因更为普遍，这与其他爬行动物的报道不同，可能是由于废水传播。在32.4%的动物中检测到某菌属，因其与公共卫生的相关性而突出了对……和……的检测。在14.9%的动物中发现的人畜共患病菌……首次在爬行动物中被检测到。在本研究中，10.8%的蜥蜴中发现了更与水生环境相关的某蜥蜴物种，其中两只动物中发现了……。与在爬行动物中进行的其他研究相比，某菌属的患病率（5.4%）较低。这些结果表明，特内里费岛的某蜥蜴物种可能在检测到的病原体的维持和传播中起作用，是公共卫生和生物多样性保护的一个潜在风险因素。
