Ambily R. , M. Mini
Abstract :
The present study deals with the isolation, biochemical characterization and antibiogram of Salmonella enterica subsps. Gallinarum from Japanese quails in a private farm in central Kerala. There were reports of heavy mortality among birds of 5 to 7 months of age in the farm. Necropsy of the birds revealed lesions suggestive of fowl typhoid. The organ samples were cultured on enrichment and selective media and the colonies obtained were subjected to further biochemical characterization and the organism was proved to be S. Gallinarum. The antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the isolate revealed that it was completely resistant to Streptomycin, Ampicillin, cotrimoxazole, oxytetracycline and Augmentin. They were sensitive to Ceftriaxone and Chloramphenicol and moderately sensitivity to Ciprofloxacin and Gentamicin.
