摘要

Over the years, Staphylococcus nepalensis has been reported in some species of wild and domestic animals, indicating a broad ecological distribution and has a significant impact on a variety of other species, from mammals to reptiles, which can serve as its environmental reservoir. In addition, concerns around human health endows a nosocomial importance. The aim was to report the isolation and identification of S. nepalensis in the oral cavity of Lampropeltis triangulum under human management in a zoological park. The single isolate was identified by MALDI-TOF and underwent Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST). The antimicrobial resistance profile tested for eleven different classes of drugs revealed a high rate of sensitivity. It is necessary to reinforce the importance of monitoring and controlling the use of antimicrobials in veterinary settings and wildlife management practices, thus preventing the spread of multidrug-resistant strains that could render therapeutic protocols ineffective and pose a risk to public health. This study expands the known host range of S. nepalensis and underscores the need for surveillance in reptile species.
