In present study, 160 horses were screened for enteric Salmonella and their antimicrobial resistance pattern in Bikaner. Presence of InvA gene in faecal samples was used as marker for Salmonella shedding. Antimicrobial resistance analysis against 10 different antibiotics was done on 11 isolates of Salmonella enterica. The results revealed that the Salmonella isolates were sensitive to ceftriaxone + tazobactum (100 per cent), cefoperazone (81.81 per cent), and cefuroxime (81.81 per cent). All (100 per cent) the strains were found resistant to penicillin-G and 72.73 per cent isolates were resistant to tetracycline. Six isolates exhibited multiple drug resistance against 3 to 9 antibiotics with Multiple Antibiotic index ranging from 0.10 to 0.90. MAR, index of 0.70 was found in maximum number of isolates (3) which were resistant to seven different antimicrobials.
