Abstract
 Salmonella is the major cause of foodborne diseases and a serious public health problem in the world, with an increasing concern for the emergence and spread of antimicrobial-resistant strains. Our study was conducted to assess the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Salmonella isolates using standard bacteriological methods. The overall prevalence rate of 11.4% was recorded from the total analyzed food items of animal origin. Salmonella isolates were detected from 5.7% of minced meat, 1.4% of kofta, 1.4% of luncheon, and 2.8% of burger. All Salmonella species recovered were resistant to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid with 100% sensitivity to ciprofloxacin and meropenem. Findings on the multidrug-resistant (MDR) profile showed that a total of 6/8 (75%) of Salmonella Enteritidis were resistant to 3 or more antibiotics. Therefore, our findings provide the prevalence and drug resistance of Salmonella from foods of animal origin and contribute information to scientists as well as public health researchers to minimize the prevalent and resistant foodborne Salmonella species in Egypt.
