Abstract

The study was aimed at evaluating the antimicrobial resistance patterns and profile of Salmonella isolated from poultry farms in Abia and Imo State. A total of 2020 samples were randomly collected from egg, cloacal swab and chicken litter and comprise1420 from Abia and 600 from Imo states, respectively. Disc diffusion method was used for the antibiotic sensitivity test. Eleven different antibiotics were used for the study. Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) was used as enrichment broth at 42OC while MacConkey and deoxycholate agar were used as selective media for isolation. The Salmonella isolation rate in Abia and Imo states were 1.97% and 2.00% respectively. There was no significant difference (P> 0.05) between the Salmonella isolation rate in Abia and Imo States. Ciprofloxacin, cephtriaxone and levofloxacine were least resistance to the Salmonella isolates at 0.0%, 0.0% and 7.7% while ampicillin, streptomycin, nalidixic acid and tetracycline were the most resisted by 100%, 100%, 91 and 87.5% respectively......
