Due to the global decline of bacterial antimicrobial sensitivity, international organizations such as Word Health Organization, Food and Agriculture Organization, and World Organization for Animal Health consider it necessary to implement an integrative approach to the fight against antibiotic resistance in the light of the One Health concept. The purpose of the study was to investigate the degree of interchangeability of the antibiotic resistance of the isolated microbiome from wild boars and their living environment. The samples (n=24) were collected from two hunting funds in Covasna and Cluj counties. The identification of microorganisms was performed using the Vitek®2 System and, subsequently, their susceptibility was evaluated using the agar diffusion method. The isolated strains were identified as Pseudomonas spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas luteola, Brevibacterium spp., Aerococcus viridans, Aeromonas sobria, Campylobacter coli, Campylobacter lari, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus suis. The highest multiple antibiotic resistance index (MAR 0.666) was identified in strains isolated from Cluj County, while the lowest (MAR 0.111) was obtained in strains isolated from Covasna County. The results of this study further acknowledge the bacterial resistance in wildlife.
