The intestinal bacterium Enterococcus faecalis can transmit from chickens to humans, causing urinary tract infections. This discovery is yet another example of how emerging infectious diseases in humans often stem from animals.
Although birds can spread bacteria to people, illness caused by touching or owning birds is rare. To best protect yourself from getting sick, thoroughly wash your hands with running water and soap after contact with birds or their droppings. Different types of birds can carry different diseases. For example, baby chicks and ducklings often carry the bacterium Salmonella. This bacteria causes salmonellosis (sal-MOhn-el-OH-sis) in humans. Parakeets and parrots can carry the bacterium Chlamydia psittaci (kluh-MID-ee-ah si-TACH-ee).
