| Abstract | ||||
| Salmonellosis is an economically important disease of domestic animals, and appears to be one of the most common examples of an enteric disease that is trans- mitted from animals to humans (Threlfall et al., 1978; Hepner, 1980; Hadad et al., 1988; Donahue, 1986; Gillespre and Timoney, 1981). The extensive use of | various antibiotics for prevention, therapeutic and nutritive purposes in domestic animals has contribu- ted to the development of drug-resistant Salmonella to such antibiotics. | In recent years most of Salmonella strains isolated from domestic animals were resistant to antibiotics and most of these drug-resistant Salmonella carried conjugative R-plasmids (Duck et al., 1978; Makino et al., 1981; Mills and Kelly, 1985; Threlfall et al., 1985; Timoney, 1978; Ishiguro et al., 1980), which present a serious problem when using these antibiotics in disease eradication and it may posses serious public health hazard (Rowe et al., 1979 ; Threlfall et al., 1978, 1985). : In this paper, the antimicrobial susceptibility of 122 Salmonella isolates, isolated during 1982-1985 from animals in Mosul is examined. | ||||
