Abstract Imported animals especially those from developing countries may constitute a potential hazard to native animals and to public health. In this study a new flock of lesser flamingos imported from Tanzania to Hiroshima Zoological Park were screened for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria integrons and antimicrobial resistance genes. Thirty-seven Gram-negative bacterial isolates were obtained from the flamingos. Seven isolates showed multidrug resistance phenotypes the most common being against ampicillin .
