Resume

La flore bactérienne et fongique digestive de 107 Goélands argentés (Larus argentatus michahellis) a été étudiée en Camargue. Aucune Salmonelle n'a été isolée. La fréquence d'isolement d'Escherichia coli et de Streptocoques fécaux est importante et suggère que l'on porte plus d'attention au röle joué par cette espèce aviaire dans la pollution de l'environnement.

Summary

The bacterial and fungal digestive flora of herring gulls (Larus argentatus michahellis) has been studied in Camargue, France. Of 107 cloacal swab samples, one was found to contain Salmonellae. The incidence of Escherichia coli and faecal Streptococcus was sufficiently high to suggest that greater attention should be paid to the environmental impact of this gull species.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde die intestinale Bakterien‐ und Pilzflora der Silbermöwe (Larus argentatus michahellis) in der Camargue, Frankreich, untersucht. In keinem der 107 Kloakenabstrichen konnten Salmonellae nachgewiesen werden. Das Vorkommen von Escherichia coli und von faekalen Streptokokken ist allerdings so hoch, daβ eine gröβere Aufmerksamkeit für die Umweltbelastung dieser Möwenspezies notwenig erscheint.
