Microbroth dilution plates were used to establish antibiotic resistant profiles on the samples. Twenty-seven percent of all samples (n=600) tested positive for Salmonella using several selective and enrichment media. Of those, 40% were classified as serogroup B and 48% were from serogroup C. Other serogroup values were 10% or less of the total. Thirteen percent of 158 isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobial drugs tested, 26% were resistant to only one antimicrobial, and 38% were resistant to eight or more. The most common resistance was to Sulfisoxazole (77% of isolates). Sulfisoxazole MIC levels were the only ones impacted by an interaction between trial and sample type (P=0.02).Ten antimicrobials saw an effect due to trial (P≤ 0.05) but not type (P>0.05).application/pdfen-UShair sheepSalmonella spp.antimicrobial drugsantibiotic resistantThesis
