ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Salmonella isolated from various poultry farms in Umuahia North and Umuahia South local government area. A total of thirty-five (35) Salmonella isolates obtained from poultry environmental specimen (litter, feed, droppings and water), were tested using diffusion disc agar susceptibility using Kirby-Bauer Method. The strains of Salmonella were more susceptible to Ofloxacin having 24(68.6%) susceptibility with (17.1%) reduced intermediate susceptibility, and Cefotaxime 19(51.3%) susceptibility with (2.9%) reduced intermediate susceptibility. The isolates were highly resistant. This study has indicated that strains of Salmonella present in the poultry farms are resistant to commonly used antibiotics, which is of public health importance.
