This study was conducted to access antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Salmonella isolates from culture positive cases of enteric fever.Altogether 505 blood samples were collected from patients clinically suspected of enteric fever attending HAMS Hospital. All blood samples were cultured by BACTEC method and sub cultured in blood agar and MacConkey agar plates. All isolates were identified by colony characteristics, biochemical tests and serotyping methods.
