Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern worldwide, requiring holistic “One Health” strategy to address the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. This study focused on Enterococci isolated from Canary Island Egyptian vulture chicks, an endangered species that feeds at supplementary feeding stations in Islands. Sampling identification revealed presence several Enterococcus species, with predominance E. faecalis. susceptibility testing showed patterns, especially important antibiotics such as quinolones, vancomycin, linezolid. The prevalence multidrug-resistant profiles was lower than other wild bird species. underscores need for further research understand dynamics antimicrobial wildlife its implications public health conservation efforts, emphasizing importance approach this pressing problem.
