RESUMEN
Salmonella is responsible for the majority of invasive AGE. Antibiotic treatment is essential to reduce invasive infections. This study was undertaken to study the incidence of Salmonella among AGE and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the salmonella isolates. Standard methods were adopted to identify Salmonella sp,. Disc diffusion method was used to assay antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the isolates. Results revealed that 15% of AGE is associated with Salmonella sp., and all the isolates were resistant to any one of the antibiotics tested & fall within 24 different antibiotics resistance pattern, morethan 80% of the strains were resistant to Ampicillin. Among antibiotics group amyloglycosides & cephalosporin group of antibiotics showed moderately less resistant to strains tested. We must develop a specific antibiotic usage policy for the reduction of antibiotic resistance.
