Resumen

El gecko doméstico es un reptil que habita ambientes interiores ocupados por seres humanos y se distribuye ampliamente por las regiones tropicales y subtropicales del mundo. Hay una preocupación por un posible riesgo zoonótico que surge debido a que los geckos se desplazan fácilmente por paredes y techos, y sus heces suelen depositarse en entornos domésticos. Se sospecha que estos excrementos albergan bacterias patógenas para los seres humanos. En este estudio, se caracterizaron las comunidades bacterianas presentes en las heces de geckos mediante la secuenciación de amplicones del gen 16S del rRNA. Las comunidades mostraron una riqueza de especies relativamente baja, con solo 25 especies núcleo. Estas especies, que también se encontraron entre las más abundantes en todas las comunidades, han sido descritas como comensales que habitan en el intestino de otros animales y seres humanos y son anaeróbicas. Es importante destacar que ninguna de estas especies pertenece a géneros típicamente asociados con patógenos humanos.
