Rubislaw, S.Senftenberg, S.Virchow and S.Cerro. Antimicrobial sensitivity test was performed. It was concluded that most of salmonellae were sensitive to Gentamycin, Amikacin, Tetracycline, Levofloxacin and Ceftriaxone in a percentage of 70.3%, 57.8%, 60.9%, 84.3% and 62.5%, respectively. Moreover, it showed moderate resistance to Tobramycin and Enrofloxacin in a percentage of 51.6% each.
