ABSTRACT
This study sought to evaluate the antibiotics susceptibility
pattern of Salmonella species recovered from poultry farms and their plasmid
profile. The isolates were identified using conventional method and screened
against antibiotics in the agar diffusion technique. The drug resistant
isolates were profiled for plasmid in the alkaline lysis technique. It was
observed that 75.0% of the Salmonella isolates were susceptible to Ofloxacin
with a greater percentage (87.5%) of them being resistant to Augmentin. Other
antibiotic with higher potency against the isolates were Ceftriaxone and
Augmentin. Two out of the five most drug resistant isolates were found to
harbour plasmid DNA. The study established the presence of Salmonella specie in
poultry and their high resistance to antibiotics
