Abstract (English):	The order Psittaciformes includes parakeets, parrots, cockatoos and macaws. Its microbiota includes Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-positive coconut with virulence factors that, in the presence of predisposing factors, favor tissue colonization, resist the host's immune defenses and cause pathologies such as skin and soft tissues. In this investigation, Staphylococcus aureus was identified and its resistance to antimicrobials was determined in parrots in captivity and in their keepers in Venezuela. Cloacal samples and faeces of Psittaciformes birds were collected, as well as nasopharyngeal swabs from their keepers. The samples were cultivated for isolation and subsequent bacterial identification. For the determination of the antimicrobial susceptibility, the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method was applied. 57.8% (26/45) of the birds and 60% (3/5) of the keepers were isolated for Staphylococcus aureus. Susceptibility tests reported 2.2% Methicillin Resistant S. aureus in birds and 20% in keepers. The highest percentage of resistance was towards beta-lactam antibiotics and a higher multi-resistance was found in keepers than in birds. This phenomenon represents a risk for populations of birds and fauna in captivity, where animals in captivity can act as a reservoir for diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	El orden Psittaciformes encierra pericos, loros, cacatúas y guacamayos. Su microbiota incluye Staphylococcus aureus, coco Gram positivo con factores de virulencia que, en presencia de factores predisponentes, favorecen la colonización de tejidos, resisten las defensas inmunológicas del hospedador y causan patologías como de piel y tejidos blandos. En esta investigación se identificó Staphylococcus aureus y determinó su resistencia a antimicrobianos en aves psitácidas en cautiverio y sus cuidadores en Venezuela. Se recolectaron muestras cloacales y heces de aves Psittaciformes, así como hisopado nasofaríngeo de sus cuidadores. Las muestras se cultivaron para el aislamiento y posterior identificación bacteriana. Para la determinación de la susceptibilidad antimicrobiana fue aplicado el método de difusión en disco Kirby Bauer. El 57,8% (26/45) de las aves y 60% (3/5) de los cuidadores se les aisló S. aureus. Las pruebas de susceptibilidad reportaron 2,2% de Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina en aves y 20% en los cuidadores. El mayor porcentaje de resistencia fue hacia los antibióticos betalactámicos y se encontró una mayor multirresistencia en los cuidadores que en las aves. Este fenómeno representa un riesgo para las poblaciones de aves y fauna en cautiverio, donde los animales en cautiverio pueden actuar como un reservorio para enfermedades. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
