Evaluation of antibiotic resistance in salmonella isolated from camel in a Najaf province

Non-Typhoidal Salmonellosis (NTS) is a form of salmonellosis that infect human from host-non adapted serotypes of salmonella, these salmonella strains are distributed in the environment, water and food via warm blooded animals causing gastroenteritis illnesses mostly, accompanied by high antibiotic resistance profile. In Najaf, camel meat considered one of the most used meat for human consumption. Yet, studies on distribution of salmonella and antibiotic resistance is scarce. In this research, (32) isolates of salmonella were isolated from camels in the province of Al-Najaf, using ordinary bacteriological methods, according to internationally known protocols for the cultivation and characterization of this bacteria. Then, all positive isolates subjected by antibiotic sensitivity test. The results showed a very high multidrug resistance profile was noticed among the isolated salmonella
