The antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that the Salmonella sp. were highly sensitive (90%) to Ceftriaxone, moderately sensitive to Ciprofloxacin; Salmonella and E. coli strains showed 100% resistance towards Cotrimoxazole, Ampicillin, Tetracycline and Nalidixic acid. Conclusion: To addresses this issue, antibiotic therapy should be taken into consideration along with the pathogen. In addition, the incidence of pathogens in human can be traced primarily to faulty weaning practices and poor personal hygiene.
