The aim of this study was to molecularly investigate the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in organ samples from a golden jackal (<jats:italic>Canis aureus<\/jats:italic>) found dead in the Marche region (Central Italy). Samples from lung, liver, spleen, kidney, and intestine were investigated by PCRs targeting the following genes: <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(A), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(B), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(C), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(D), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(E), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(G), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(K), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(L), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(M), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(O), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(S), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(P), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(Q), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(X), <jats:italic>sul1<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>sul2<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>sul3<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>CTX\u2212M<\/jats:sub>, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>SHV<\/jats:sub>, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>TEM<\/jats:sub>, and <jats:italic>mcr<\/jats:italic>-1 to <jats:italic>mcr<\/jats:italic>-10. One or more ARGs were detected in all organs tested, except the spleen. Specifically, the lung and liver were positive for <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(M) and <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(P), the kidney for <jats:italic>mcr<\/jats:italic>-1 and the intestine for <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(A), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(L), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(M), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(O), <jats:italic>tet<\/jats:italic>(P), <jats:italic>sul3<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>TEM\u22121<\/jats:sub>.
