Antibiotic susceptibility pattern and resistance genes in Salmonella strains isolated from cattle
This study provides insights into the antibiotic susceptibility pattern and prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes in Salmonella isolates from Pakistani cattle. The high resistance to oxytetracycline and doxycycline highlights the need for alternative treatment strategies. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to the limited sample size and the absence of serotyping, which restricted identification of specific Salmonella serovars. Continued surveillance and targeted control measures remain essential to mitigate the spread of resistant strains.
