PESQUISA DE SALMONELLA EM MUTUNS (Mitu mitu) MANTIDOS EM CATIVEIRO

摘要: We collected 50 samples of curasow feces from the Scientific and Cultural Breeding Center in city Pocos de Caldas. The were enriched broth medium Tetrationato Cystine-selenite plated on Salmonella Shigella (SS), Mac Conkey (MC), endo-C (EC), Brilliant Green (VB) Eosyn Methilen Blue EMB, remaining at 37 °C for 24h. Colonies suspected inoculated tubes containing Agar Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) again incubated oC Tubes with characteristic growth submitted to slide agglutination test polyvalent somatic flagellar serum. SS, MC VB most efficient growing, 36% positive spp. As birds are important reservoirs spp it may represent a high risk human health, there is need implement cleaning routine enclosures avoiding contamination between consequent entrainment these micro-organisms, by keepers until their homes or other venues. presence breeding centers be responsible lower hatchability eggs, undermining purpose entity, which study maintain various species.
