Isolation and identification of pathogenic bacteria from pet red eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) /
Bacteriological isolation and identification were performed on 60 cloacal swabs and 15 aquarium water samples of small pet red eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans), obtained from aquarium shops in Klang Valley. Twenty bacterial genuses were isolated from cloacal swabs and 10 g enera from aquari...

| 520 | |a Bacteriological isolation and identification were performed on 60 cloacal swabs and 15 aquarium water samples of small pet red eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans), obtained from aquarium shops in Klang Valley. Twenty bacterial genuses were isolated from cloacal swabs and 10 g enera from aquarium water samples. Most common bacteria isolated are Aeromonas spp., in both cloacal swab (70%) and aquarium water (86.7%), Klebsiella spp. (50%), Escherichia coli (33.3%), Yersinia spp. (16.7%) and Salmonella spp. (15%) identified as pathogenic bacteria of animals and human were isolated from cloacal swabs. Other bacteria isolated in this study include Enterobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Proteus spp., Acinetobacter spp., Citrobacter spp., Serratia spp., Morganella spp., Providencia spp., Bordetella spp., Alcaligenes feacalis, Chromobacterium spp., Plesiomonas spp., Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus spp., and Edwardsiella tarda. Salmonella spp. was isolated from both cloacal swab and aquarium water. Salmonella serotypes identified in this study were S. tennessee, S. typhimurium, S. brezany, S. pomono, S. corvallis and S. schwarzengrund. Bacterial infections of human associated with handling reptiles directly or indirect contact with aquarium water have been regularly described, hence the zoonotic significance of owning a turtle infected with Salmonella spp. or any pathogenic bacteria can therefore not be ignored. | ||
