The prevalence of gram-negative bacterial species in the intestines of 20 apparently healthy turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) was determined. Edwardsiella tarda, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Salmonella, and Arizona hinshawii (Salmonella arizonae) were each recovered from 15% of these birds. Turkey vultures may be important reservoirs of these bacterial pathogens.
测定了20只外观健康的红头美洲鹫(Cathartes aura)肠道中革兰氏阴性菌的流行情况。迟缓爱德华氏菌、类志贺邻单胞菌、沙门氏菌和欣氏亚利桑那菌(亚利桑那沙门氏菌)在这些鸟类中的检出率均为15%。红头美洲鹫可能是这些细菌病原体的重要宿主。
